Kerry Lee's British raider Top Gamble, a previous Grade Two winner in his own right, got to within a coupe of lengths of Un De Sceaux at one point, but Willie Mullins' superstar cruised clear from that rival to win by 25 lengths under David Mullins.
Mullins was at Punchestown, where he said: "Un De Sceaux galloped away and had everything in his favour today. The ground conditions really suited him and you couldn't ask for anything more. He loves that ground.
"I've no real plans at the moment where we will go next."
