Perfect trip sees Lee make history

Graham Lee saw his name etched into the annals of Turf history after becoming the first ever Grand National-winning jockey to triumph in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot following his victory aboard Trip To Paris.

Having partnered Amberleigh House to glory in the Aintree showpiece back in 2004, the 39-year-old, who has also seen victory at the Cheltenham Festival, secured his maiden success at the highest level on the Flat since switching codes with a battling success aboard the Ed Dunlop-trained four-year-old.

Purchased for just 20,000 Guineas at a breeze-up sale in 2013, the son of Champs Elysees completed his rapid transformation through the handicap ranks, which included a win in the Chester Cup, to a genuine Group-class performer in the space of just six runs since this season.
