ROSS Crawford saddled his first winner under rules through 125/1 outsider Green Hope in the opening Molson Coors Beverage Company Maiden Hurdle. The Telescope gelding led for Danny Mullins, but was headed at the third flight and raced handily.

Mullins asked him for more in third at the penultimate hurdle and his mount responded to take over after the last. He hit the line with a length and a quarter in hand for owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede.
