Off You Go triumphed from the bottom of the handicap in the Coral Hurdle at Leopardstown on Saturday.

Trained by Charles Byrnes and ridden by Mark Enright, Off You Go ran out a 13-length winner at Limerick over the Christmas period to book his place in the line-up for this €100,000 event.

Enright's mount was sent off a 6/1 shot and jumped the last in front, only for Katie Walsh and Deal D'Estruval to set out in pursuit.

However, Off You Go still had a bit in reserve and he pushed on again to win, with Grand Partner third and the runner-up's stablemate Makitorix fourth.

Enright had taken a fall earlier on the card, but victory helped to ease his pain. He said: "I'm still a bit sore but that feels great! When you're riding in these colours (J.P. McManus) for those men and win, it's super. And what can I say about the trainer? He's a genius.

"I didn't want to get there too soon, but he had won over over two and a half miles last time and we hadn't gone much of a pace, so I decided to kick on. He was very good."

Byrnes said: "The rise in the weights (after winning at Limerick) left him bang on and initially I didn't think he'd get into the race. He snuck in perfectly at the bottom and it worked out.

"I don't know what the plan is, but I'll talk to Frank (Berry, racing manager) and we'll see. He's still only a baby and I'd say he'll only have one or two more runs before the end of the season.

"He probably wouldn't even get into the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and while I doubt he'll go to Cheltenham, the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Hurdle could still be a possibility.

"Mark is very lucky for me and while I don't give him many rides, anything I put him up on wins most of the time.

"Dromlease Express won this race 14 years ago and that was a good day as well!"
