Majborough turned in a tremendous performance to take the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase at Fairyhouse.
Willie Mullins elected to go straight over fences with his Triumph Hurdle hero and he looked a natural as he bounded along at the head of affairs.
Stablemates Tullyhill and Asian Master kept tabs on him, and it was Tullyhill – also a smart performer in his bumper days – who proved the biggest threat.
That challenge was only a brief one, however, as the four-year-old Majborough and Mark Walsh fairly rocketed clear after the last to win by six and a half lengths as the easy-to-back even-money favourite.
