 This tell us little about Nas Na Riogh's prospects of landing the Triumph Hurdle because the filly was in a different league to her rivals and landed the race in a hack canter for Mick Fitzgerald.
But as in one of her previous wins at Chepstow, underfoot conditions were atrocious and Nicky Henderson will be keeping his fingers crossed testing conditions prevail at Cheltenham next week.
It was Nas Na Riogh's first outing since Christmas and Fitzgerald expressed the view that his mount will have benefited from the outing.
