A PACKED crowd at Downpatrick saw Gavin Cromwell land the Randox Ulster National Handicap Chase for the third time in the last five years as the eight-year-old Born Braver outstayed his rivals by five lengths.

Keith Donoghue’s mount was well positioned in fourth with a circuit to go and was ridden in third after three out. Despite a slight mistake at the next, he improved to launch his challenge on the run-in and kept on strongly in the final 100 yards for a clear-cut success at 15/2 for Mrs John Duffy.
