Devereux stars at Plumpton

Amateur rider Donal Devereux, who has been making a name for himself this spring on the veteran hunter chaser Take The Stand, continued his budding relationship with trainer Peter Bowen in the opener at Plumpton.

The Wexford-born 20-year-old got a spark out of Gunnabelil, without a victory from a handful of previous starts, in the Ward Executive 20th Anniversary Novices’ Handicap Hurdle.
