Bryan Cooper and Empire Of Dirt grind out victory to get Gigginstown off the mark at the 2016 Festival

Empire Of Dirt

Empire Of Dirt ran out the commanding winner, giving trainer Colm Murphy his fourth Festival winner.

The 16/1 shot cruised into contention as the field turned for home but his jockey, Bryan Cooper, had to galvanise his mount as the eventual third King's Palace wasn't going down without a fight.

However, the nine-year-old still had plenty in the tank and he battled well to pass that particular rival as they reached the final fence and a good jump sealed matters as Empire Of Dirt scampered up the hill to record a four length victory, with Tango De Juilley running on to claim second.

Murphy is no stranger to big race success at The Festival, having trained Brave Inca to win the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle (2004) and the same horse doubled up by landing the Stan James Champion Hurdle two years later.

Big Zeb was another big race winner for Murphy at The Festival when he landed the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase in 2010 and the County Wexford handler was delighted following Empire Of Dirt's success.

"I got a bit animated as they came to the last but it's fantastic," said Murphy. "Empire Of Dirt has hit the ground a few times along the way, but, as a rule, he has been very good and Bryan was very good on him today. He gave him every chance and I am delighted. He settled really well today. He has been hard on himself initially, but he has really got the hang of it and seems to be enjoying his racing now."

GIGGINSTOWN GAIN FIRST WINNER OF 2016 CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL

After a number of near-misses so far this week and plenty of placed horses, Ryanair and Gigginstown House Stud supremo Michael O'Leary, was delighted to gain his first winner of this year's Festival courtesy of Empire Of Dirt.

O'Leary was pleased that Gigginstown and Cooper had got on the board. He remarked: "It is great for Bryan, it is nice for jockeys to get a winner on the board and hopefully both he and (Davy Russell) will go into the Gold Cup riding with confidence.

"It is nice to have a winner. We have a lot to look forward to tomorrow. We have a few in the Albert Bartlett as well. It is just Cheltenham.

"I've sponsored two races today with two great winners. Unfortunately, I finished second in both races against two machines but that is Cheltenham. You usually run against machines.

"It is great to be here at Cheltenham and I am fortunate to have runners here and if you can nick a win or two, it is better. It is always nice to be in the winner's enclosure so you have to enjoy it and treasure these moments because they do not happen often."

O'Leary also expanded on Bryan Cooper's decision to ride Don Cossack in tomorrow's Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup, which gives Davy Russell the ride on Don Poli. O'Leary said: "I think Bryan is on the right horse. If the ground is good, it will suit Don Cossack. Hopefully, with Smad Place there will be plenty of pace but that is a stellar Gold Cup. It is a stellar field and one of the best we have seen in many years.

"You could give a chance to five or six of them in the race. Don Cossack, Don Poli, Djakadam and Cue Card are all running out of their skin and whoever wins it tomorrow will be champion.

"I very much hope Bryan has made the right choice but if he hasn't, I hope Davy Russell has made the right choice."

TANGO SQUASHES FEARS AFTER LONG BREAK

Tango De Juilley made his season's debut and ran a blinder to take second, despite the long absence.

The Venetia Williams-trained nine-year-old is owned by a partnership headed by Muhammad Nadeem Khan, who went to school in Cheltenham, discovered racing while there, and promised to get involved if ever he made a success of business. He gave his horse little chance of being involved, and was thrilled when 33/1 shot Tango De Juilley chased home winner Empire Of Dirt. The distance between the pair was four lengths, and there was one and a quarter lengths back to the David Pipe-trained Kings Palace, who was still in contention at the final fence, but weakened on the run to the line.

Williams said: "The owners are delighted - absolutely thrilled. They don't live in the UK, and Cheltenham is the focus for them all year. The horse got an injury when out at grass on his summer holidays, and it has taken a while to get him back. Ideally, he would have liked it softer than this."

Pipe, who was also pleased by the run of top-weight Ballynagour, who finished seventh, said of Kings Palace: "Turning in I thought 'Oh no, this could be a story of him not seeing the hill out', but he ran a cracking race and it's nice to get him back. His last two runs haven't been great, but better ground helped and he had a wind operation before his last start at Chepstow and we felt he would improve for the run.

"Ballynagour ran a cracker to finish where he did - he was nearly brought down twice."
