GER Lyons reached a tremendous landmark in his storied training career as Offiah made it 1,000 winners for the trainer in the Class Grass Handicap.

Lyons registered his first success as a trainer when Maelalong won at Navan in October 1994 and there have followed Group 1 winners, classic successes, Royal Ascot triumphs and top level victories over jumps before Offiah lined up for this seven-furlong affair.
