Prolific Megan Carberry lives up to the family name

Some youngsters would feel the burden of being born into a famous family, but in winning for the fifth time in just nine rides over hurdles Megan Carberry enforced the opinion she is not out of place at Catterick yesterday.

Counting Paul, Nina and Philip amongst her cousins, she has plenty of relatives to call upon for advice but at this early stage of her career she seems to be doing just fine.

Having initially made her breakthrough on the Flat with Brian Ellison in 2014, she now finds herself riding over jumps and appears blessed with a pair of those famous Carberry hands.
