Narciso Has looked a different proposition to what he had on his debut for Willie Mullins when bolting up in the Changing Times Brewery Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown.
A winner over hurdles in France, he was sent off favourite on his Irish debut in a Grade Three event at Fairyhouse but had to settle for second behind Gordon Elliott’s smart recruit Mange Tout.
Always prominent, Narciso Has (11-10 favourite) gradually wound up the pace under Danny Mullins and turning into the straight began to build up a healthy lead.
He went further and further clear on jumping the last, winning by 11 lengths from Adrienne and assuming Triumph Hurdle favouritism.
“He ran brilliant in Fairyhouse for a horse with such inexperience,” said David Casey, Mullins’ assistant.
“We thought he’d improve from there and were kind of hoping he’d put up that performance today. I think there is plenty of improvement to come as well.
“He’s a horse that stays well. We like him, he’s a fair horse.
“We were confident he would keep going. Danny wanted to be positive and it worked out great.”
