Sarteano held the late rally of Jewel Of The West to take top honours in the opening Lexeme Retail Novice Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse today.

The six-year-old broke his duck over obstacles at Down Royal back in November but three subsequent disappointments meant he was sent off at 25-1 for this competitive handicap.
