Sean Curran, who is based at Hatford, near Stanford in the Vale, produced a fine training performance when Ray Mond overcame a 767-day absence to win at Warwick on Wednesday.

Wayne Kavanagh was aboard the eight-year-old in the handicap chase over three miles and two furlongs after Anthony Freeman felt ill.

And he took his chance in style by driving the 14-1 chance home by four lengths from Jackie Boy.
