| Headfort Arms Hotel Maiden Hurdle 5U MHDLE ($21,680), 3218m 4:14.80 | |
Jasmin De Vaux got his hurdling career under way with victory in the Headfort Arms Hotel Maiden Hurdle at Navan.
Willie Mullins’ five-year-old won the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival last season and was the prohibitive 1-3 favourite to oblige under Paul Townend.
His jumping was not without error as he made his way around the two-mile trip but he was resolute in holding off The Enabler, who travelled very strongly, to win by four and a half lengths.
“The engine is there, but the jumping needs working on,” said Townend.
“He’ll get confidence – a bit more practice is what he needs.
“As I say the engine is in there. It is a lot harder to put an engine in one than teach him to jump."
