BARRY Geraghty is fourth in the all-time jump jockey’s table following Birchdale’s victory in the Grade 2 Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle. It was his 1,875th winner in Britain and Ireland, which is enough to take him past Richard Dunwoody.

However, it was only when Brewin’Upastorm fell heavily at the last that success was assured for Nicky Henderson’s five-year-old. The latter was just in front and it is impossible to say how things would have turned out.
