COUNTY Antrim isn’t the only source of winners of course, and also proving successful in Britain recently were Definitly Grey and Apasionado. The former, who recorded his first track success in the two and a half mile handicap hurdle at Southwell on Tuesday for the Charlie Longsdon yard, ran twice between the flags when trained in Downpatrick by Brian Hamilton.

The 2011 Daylami gelding was sold to his present connections at Cheltenham in May 2015 shortly after winning a four-year-old maiden at Taylorstown.
