Outlander rules at Down Royal as Our Duke beaten out of sight

racing

Hot favourite Our Duke trailed home well beaten as Outlander held Road To Respect to give owners Gigginstown House Stud a one-two in the JNwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal.

Jessica Harrington's Irish Grand National hero Our Duke neither jumped nor travelled with any real effect and could never get in a blow - though he did complete the course as last of the seven finishers.

At the front end, Outlander (16-1) landed the spoils by half a length for trainer Gordon Elliott and jockey Jack Kennedy after a titanic tussle with Noel Meade's Road To Respect in the closing stages.

The always-prominent Zabana was a gallant third.
