There was plenty of confidence behind Corrin Bob prior to Tuesday night’s Ladbrokes Cold Collar final at Crayford, and the Ernie Gaskin-trained runner duly obliged, making the most of his inside line to lead from the first turn on his way to the £7,000 (€10,000) winner’s prize.

The Ireland U-20s played their way right back into contention in Pool B of the IRB Junior World Championship with a bonus point win over last year's runners-up Wales.
