Simmonson, 23, from Kildare town, worked for Mick Easterby and Tony Carroll in England before weight problems caused him to take a break.

Now based with Have A Nice Day’s trainer Sabrina Harty on the Curragh, he was recording his first win on home soil, pouncing on the inside to beat Shabra Emperor.
