Overview
- Kaid D'Authie landed the Grade 1 Ladbrokes Novice Chase at Leopardstown, beating Western Fold by four and a quarter lengths.
- Final Demand, sent off 30-100 favourite, made jumping errors and faded to finish last of the three finishers.
- Willie Mullins and Mark Walsh said first-time cheekpieces brought out the ability the winner shows at home.
- Bookmakers cut Kaid D'Authie for the Brown Advisory, with William Hill making him a 3-1 co-favourite alongside Final Demand.
- Paul Townend suggested Final Demand may have twisted in the air and connections will check for a minor niggle; Jimmy Du Seuil fell at the last but appeared unscathed.
