MENTIONED as one of those who rode winners 10 years ago at Castle Irvine, Necarne, Noel McParlan was on the mark at Toomebridge last Saturday when landing the Noel C. Kelly Racing six-year-old and upwards geldings’ maiden on the Philip McBurney-owned, Gerald Quinn-trained Braidside Boy, a Diamond Boy bay having just his third career start.

There were wins also for Wilson Dennison, Caroline McCaldin and Deckie Lavery with the British-bred Chichester Park in the Raymart five-year-old geldings’ maiden and for Peita McAlistair, Stuart Crawford and Stephen Connor with Southey in the Cunningham Covers five-year-old and upwards adjacent hunts’ maiden.
