Jasmin De Vaux got his hurdling career under way with victory in the Headfort Arms Hotel Maiden Hurdle at Navan.

Willie Mullins’ five-year-old won the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival last season and was the prohibitive 1-3 favourite to oblige under Paul Townend.

His jumping was not without error as he made his way around the two-mile trip but he was resolute in holding off The Enabler, who travelled very strongly, to win by four and a half lengths.

“The engine is there, but the jumping needs working on,” said Townend.

“He’ll get confidence – a bit more practice is what he needs.

“As I say the engine is in there. It is a lot harder to put an engine in one than teach him to jump."
