BRIAN Hughes’s excellent season continued mid-week when a double at Hexham brought the south Armagh-born jockey on to the 95-win mark for the British season. He had also picked up a brace of winners at Kelso on Saturday.

Steven Clements had a good weekend, winning on both of his rides. At Gowran Park on Saturday, the Scarva amateur landed the bumper on Kinnitty Castle. Clements was at Downpatrick on Sunday where he partnered Lord Fingal to victory in the At The Races Maiden Hunters Chase.
