WORKAHEAD proved the star of the show at Wexford last Saturday with a scintillating display on his chase debut. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding was making his first start over the larger obstacles having competed in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham last time out.

He went to post 11/8 favourite in the two-miler and produced a fine round of jumping under Darragh O’Keeffe. The Workforce gelding hit the front turning for home and kept on strongly over the last two to record a seven-and-a-half-length success over long-time leader Supersundae.
