AMONG other positions, David Aiken is travelling head lad to Downpatrick trainer Brian Hamilton and so led up his own Archies Charm on Tuesday at Limerick where the Shantou gelding won the opening maiden hurdle.

The five-year-old, who was making his jumps debut following three runs in bumpers, was bred in Britain by Goldford Stud. He is out of the King’s Theatre mare Theatre Girl who won a bumper and two hurdle races and was twice listed-placed in mares’ bumpers.
