Fastorslow beats Galopin Des Champs at Punchestown

Fastorslow inflicted a second successive shock defeat on Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs with a comeback victory at Punchestown.

Martin Brassil's 9-1 chance landed the John Durkan Chase, with Appreciate It second and his Willie Mullins stablemate Galopin Des Champs third.

Galopin Des Champs was sent off the 1-2 favourite on his return.

But Fastorslow, who had also triumphed in the Punchestown Gold Cup in April, was victorious again under JJ Slevin.

Slevin dropped his whip on the run-in but still won by half a length, with Galopin Des Champs a further length and a quarter behind in third.

"He's just a very good horse and there is a lot to look forward to with him," said Brassil.
