Henry de Bromhead’s Zurich became the first Irish-trained winner of the new season at Prestbury Park.

The six-year-old was awarded victory in the stewards’ room at Killarney three weeks ago after being badly impeded on the run-in and followed up under Darragh O’Keeffe.

De Bromhead said: “That was brilliant, I’m delighted for the syndicate, they’re great supporters of ours. They’ve had horses with us for years and I think that’s their first winner here, which is what it’s all about.

“We felt the step up in trip today would suit him and we were surprised the price he was actually.”

The raiding party were on the mark again in the William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Chase, with Gordon Elliott’s Three Card Brag (6-1) picking up the lion’s share of £100,000 under Jack Kennedy.

“He jumped and travelled the whole way. I thought he was in front a bit soon, but in fairness to the horse he kept galloping,” said Elliott.

“We ran him in the Grand National last season and he just didn’t get home (finished 11th). I’m not saying we won’t give him another go – it’s a great race – but I’m not sure he gets home over that trip.”
