Crassus, 0-9 on the Flat, led before the last on his hurdles debut at Punchestown but had no answer when Duffle Coat quickened past. The winner is trained by Gordon Elliott, who has ON GUARD entered here. A winner for John Gosden at Yarmouth in June, he was then outclassed behind Santiago in the Queen's Vase at Ascot but looks the type to make a hurdler despite a Flat pedigree. At War was a long way behind in Duffle Coat's Punchestown race but did better when placed behind another Elliott-trained youngster in Longclaw at Listowel. Boom Boom Boom had four runs for Stuart Williams in the UK without showing much but any money for him could prove significant.
