Bleu De Vassy was much the best when winning the Bar One Racing For Auction Novice Hurdle at Navan.
Gordon Elliott’s five-year-old was the 4-6 favourite after taking his hurdles debut by a huge 25 lengths last time out at Fairyhouse.
He had some bumper form prior to that and was the chosen mount of Cullentra stable jockey Jack Kennedy over stablemate Patter Merchant.
At Grade Three level the Gigginstown-owned bay travelled like a dream throughout the race and had no problem in pulling away from the field to score by a comfortable five lengths.
“I was impressed with him in Fairyhouse, but we weren’t sure how good a race it was. You have to be impressed with what he did there.” said Elliott.
“Jack said he didn’t mind that ground. We were running him last year on heavy ground and I couldn’t understand why he was getting beaten.
“I was disappointed in a few bumpers last year. Maybe he doesn’t want it as soft as that.
“I’d say he is a good horse and he looks nice. He travels with a lot of pace.”
When asked about a tilt at the Royal Bond at Fairyhouse, the trainer added: “He’s in it, but it might come a bit soon.”
