GAVIN Ryan fired in a 167/1 double on the hill when first reserve Private Larry forged home well in the Dore & Co. Solicitors Handicap.

Although the Alan McIntyre-trained three-year-old went off at 20/1, he certainly wasn’t unbacked, and Ryan raced him in rear before the pair began to take interest with half a mile to travel. The Ruth McCreery-owned bay made solid headway approaching the final quarter of a mile and hit the front a furlong and a half down, going on to win by three and a half lengths.
