Morney wings in to take Sussex National

Morney Wing showed plenty of resolve to win the At The Races Sussex National at Plumpton yesterday under substitute jockey Paddy Brennan.

Noel Fehily was booked to ride the 12-1 chance in the feature event of the afternoon at the East Sussex circuit, but despite having earlier ridden a winner, stood himself down after feeling unwell.

The Charlie Mann-trained eight-year-old jumped boldly throughout the three-and-a-half-mile contest and took over the running from Azure Fly three fences from the finish.
