Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell doubled up at Navan when Nonbinding stayed on strongly in the second split of the opening maiden hurdle.

The 7/2 chance improved to lead two out and and powered up the run-in to post a seven and a half length success. Harel Du Marais took second at 15/2 and was a length and a quarter in front of the 4/11 favourite High City Roller

Elliott said: "We fancied him in Downpatrick, but he got wiped out at the first (hurdle).

"Davy was happy with him there today. He probably wants further and he is a big chaser. It is nice to get his head in front.

"He stayed going well and jumped well.

"We'll try and find a winners' of one somewhere."
