HE’s no doubt rueing the two that got away, but Noel McParlan enjoyed an excellent couple of days last week, riding a winner at Hexham on Friday before recording a treble at Toomebridge the following afternoon.

The track winner was Drumlee Myth, a seven-year-old Watar gelding owned and trained by the rider’s father Sean, who landed the two-and-a-half-mile novices’ handicap hurdle at Hexham last Friday.
