A LOW-key fixture at Clonmel on Thursday was lit up somewhat by the success of Potters Pal in the second division of the Glenary Handicap Hurdle, as the Tom Cooper-trained gelding landed an on-course gamble (10/1 - 7/2) for the delighted Kingdom Red Syndicate.

The five-year-old had managed two fourth-placings in point-to-points and one encouraging handicap run last month and today, wearing a first-time hood, was patiently ridden by Daniel King when scoring readily by eight leangths from Marlpark.
