Amir lands a blow for Garnett

A thrilling renewal of the Wensley Amateur Riders' Handicap Hurdle helped lift the Catterick gloom, with Amir Pasha providing Matt Garnett with his first success under Rules.

Oscar Trial led between the last two flights and, after being headed by Amir Pasha (9-1) on the run-in, the former rallied gamely but failed by a short head to get back up.
