DAVY RUSSELL consolidated his position as the jumps season’s leading rider with a double on My Murphy and Best Served Cold in very testing conditions in Wexford yesterday, bringing his seasonal tally to 52.

TOM Doyle registered his sixth win in a week when Regal D’Estruval made all to land the Dunhill Beginners Chase in emphatic style at windswept Tramore yesterday.

RUBY WALSH, out of luck on The Midnight Club in the National at Aintree on Saturday, journeyed to Tramore yesterday for just one ride, Uncle Junior in the Waterford and Tramore Disrectors’ Chase, and it duly obliged.
