Philip Carberry pats Point Barrow after his Irish National win

The Pat Hughes-trained eight-year-old took it up four fences from home under Philip Carberry and had a length to spare from 10-1 shot Oulart.

A New Story was a distant third with American Jennie fourth but favourite Dun Doire never threatened despite staying on to finish the race.

Carberry was following his father Tommy and brother Paul in winning the race.

Well Presented set the early pace in the three-mile-five-furlong race, with Carberry content to settle his mount in the chasing pack.

He bided his time and worked his way into the race slowly as Doodle Addle injected an extra bit of pace some way from home.

Point Barrow, winner of two Graded chases last season, came through to lead and although the well-supported novice Oulart tried his best, Carberry was celebrating his one-length win long before the line.

Supreme Developer was the sole British-trained raider but he never figured for trainer Ferdy Murphy and jockey Keith Mercer.

Trainer Pat Hughes was overjoyed with his horse's success after being almost six months without a winner.

"I have had five horses placed in the last week so I was due this," said Hughes.

"I have always thought he would be a National type of horse and I told Philip to go out and be handy and not let him get out of his ground. He gave him a great ride and I'm really delighted.

"He's a horse who doesn't do much at home and he is very lazy but he really came alive today when he came into the parade ring."
