Master Of The Hall cruised to success in the Prestige Reynoldstown Novices' Chase at Ascot on Saturday.
Nicky Henderson’s talented chaser made light work of his task after his rivals seemed to blunder away their chances and connections of the horse will be hoping he can continue his good form in next month’s RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
The bookies were forced to cut the superstar’s Festival odds and delighted winning jockey Barry Geraghty explained:"He got me there easy. He was maybe a little bit disappointing (at Cheltenham on New Year's Day) but he just wasn't 100% that day."
An equally thrilled Nicky Henderson explained: "In fairness, the main opposition made a hash of one on the back straight.
"He was really good from there and Barry said it's not often you get to have a school round in a Grade Two. He's had good bit of educating and three miles is helping him.
"The owners won't need persuading to go for the RSA and Burton Port who won this last year nearly won it, so we'll see. I wouldn't put anybody off it.''
