John Durkan Chase report, response and free replay: Allaho makes winning return at Punchestown

Allaho made an effective occasional return in the Grade One John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase on Sunday.

Willie Mullins' staggering Ryanair Chase champ endured rout on his last beginning of last season when second to Chacun Pour Soi at Punchestown, yet was shipped off a very much supported 7/2 possibility returning up in trip under the coach's child, Patrick.

He set off to make it an exhaustive trial of endurance and, regardless of leaping out to one side on occasion, had a lot of his posh opponents in a tough situation before long most of the way. The one significant danger seemed, by all accounts, to be steady buddy Asterion Forlonge, who actually appeared to have bounty left in the tank prior to making a genuine botch and allowing his rider Bryan Cooper no opportunity of remaining unblemished three wall from the completion.

Allaho

Allaho, with a diminished lead, scrambled over the course of the subsequent last, so, all in all another stablemate, Janidil, stopped on gamely as the one last challenger, yet the victor tracked down additional on landing after the keep going and remained on to win by two or three lengths.

Janidil was second at 22/1 under Jody McGarvey, with third going to one more from the Mullins yard - lasting bridesmaid Melon (50/1). The 7/4 most loved Envoi Allen - brandishing similar Cheveley Park Stud silks as the victor - was frustrating back in 6th.

Betfair slice Allaho to 5/2 from 7/2 to hold his Ryanair title in March, while dividing Asterion Forlonge's King George chances to 8/1. Sky Bet go 11/4 from 7/2 with regards to Allaho for a Ryanair rehash.

Mullins said of the victor: "I was enchanted how he retaliated.

"At the point when Asterion Forlonge came up close by him I imagined that would remove the stuffing from him. Every challenger that came, he continued to haul it out.

"He hustled languidly today which isn't care for him and he was going a piece on his left side which isn't care for him, so we should take a gander at all that for what's to come."
