Ridden for the first time by Sam James, he battled on gamely to land the Stay At Hampton By Hilton Hamilton Park Handicap, landing a treble for the jockey and Carluke trainer Keith Dalgleish in the process.

James, who had a full book of rides on the seven-race card, said: “He’s a really tough horse and he doesn’t like being passed.

"He battled back and was only just doing enough in the end - it’s the first time I’ve sat on him and he’s just so gutsy.”

Bang-in-form Belstane Racing Stables ace Dalgleish and James had earlier won with both Lady Lade and Soapys Sister to initiate their near 70-1 three-timer.
