Rafturai completes four-timer in style

AIDAN O’BRIEN and Paul Nolan shared the training honours with doubles at Gowran Park yesterday as Mise Rafturai ploughed through the testing ground to land the featured Langtons House Handicap Hurdle for the Nolan stable.

Mise Rafturai was completing a remarkable four-timer in handicap hurdles and was produced with a perfectly-timed challenge by Gary Hutchinson for a convincing victory which earned his a crack at another valuable prize at Down Royal next month.

Earlier Nolan’s remarkably versatile nine-year-old, Park Leader, captured the W & H Steel and Roofing Systems Handicap Chase under a confident ride by champion jockey Paul Carberry, quickly getting the better of Glynn Dingle from the second-last fence.
