BRYAN Mayoh is a well-known figure in the National Hunt scene in Britain and Ireland and is a regular visitor to this country. He will love the country even more after watching Sizing John, a horse he co-bred, record his second Grade 1 success on Sunday in the Stan James Irish Gold Cup.

Another big race winner this season who has changed stables, the former Henry de Bromhead inmate is now in the care of Jessica Harrington. He has made three starts from Commonstown, finishing runner-up in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas, winning the Grade 3 Kinloch Brae Chase at Thurles and now capturing the feature on a quality programme at Leopardstown.
