Kingsbury buries Catterick rivals

Ferdy Murphy’s Kingsbury broke his maiden in the Racing UK Selling Hurdle at Catterick.

Ridden by useful 7lb claimer Ewan Whillans, the nine-year-old got off the mark at the 14th time of asking.

There were plenty in with chances over the second-last but Kingsbury ran on well to beat 5-2 favourite Green Prospect by four lengths.

“He’s been disappointing,” Murphy’s assistant, Niall Hannity, said of the 4-1 chance.

“We don’t run too many in sellers as a rule.

“It was another good ride from Ewan, he wants to learn all the time.”
