DAVID Christie has his string in red-hot form at present, a fact very much evident by the near clean sweep of placings that he came close to achieving in the feature open for novice riders. The Fermanagh handler sent out three of the first four finishers in Eddies Miracle, Horendus Hulabaloo and Marinero.

The Sean Doyle-trained My Story was the spoiler to the Christie party, as he stayed on to take third, but the Ray Nicholas-owned Eddies Miracle (3-4/1) remained unbeaten for the season, providing Ben Harvey with his fourth winner of the campaign in the process, ensuring Christie had much to celebrate.
