Go Conquer

The Jonjo O'Neill-trained Go Conquer ran his rivals ragged with a polished display of jumping as he followed up his Fontwell success four weeks ago in the hands of Aidan Coleman.

Go Conquer (7-1) held a healthy advantage turning for home with two to jump and was good value for the winning margin of four and a half lengths.

Jason Maguire, racing manager for owners Paul and Clare Rooney, said: "He stayed well and the last time he has been here he has not really seen the trip out. 

"Obviously Jonjo has tweaked a few things with him and he won well at Fontwell. Today was a test to see if he was a genuine horse off that mark as we are hoping he may make up into a National horse one day.

"He slowed it up where he wanted then he was able to use his jumping up the side of the course. He stretched away and it was just a good bit of riding."
