    Published on

    Galopin Des Champs produced a dominant to display to win a first Punchestown Gold Cup.

    Jockey Paul Townend led Galopin Des Champs as he finished 22 lengths ahead of second-placed Spillane’s Tower.

    It proved to be third time lucky for the Willie Mullins trained 5-6 favourite, who twice finished second behind Fastorslow in the past two years of this race.

    Mullins, who also enjoyed two shock victories on Tuesday, picked up another two wins in the day’s other Grade One contests.

    In the Novice Hurdle, Cheltenham victor and 13-8 favourite Jasmin De Vaux edged out Aintree winner Honesty Policy by half a length in a thrilling finale.

    Jasmin De Vaux, ridden by Townend, recovered from a mistake on the final hurdle to move ahead before the line.

    In the Champions Bumper, the 11-8 favourite Bambino Fever finished clear of Switch From Diesel in second.
