Racing/Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup:The Listener and Daryl Jacob exorcised the ghosts of last year's near-miss with a splendid front-running display in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown this afternoon.
Caught close home by Beef Or Salmon 12 months ago, the pair made no mistake this time with a brilliant round of jumping.
As challengers queued up turning into the straight, the Robert Alner-trained winner began to power away again, leaving Turko a well-beaten second, just ahead of Snowy Morning.
