George hits Punchestown jackpot

Tom George was thrilled to enjoy a welcome change of luck at the Punchestown Festival as God’s Own caused a huge surprise in the Ryanair Novice Chase in the hands of the irrepressible Barry Geraghty.

The Gloucestershire handler headed to Ireland with a strong team for the week, headed by stable star Module, who lost all chance in Tuesday’s Boylesports.com Champion Chase after being hampered by the fall of Hidden Cyclone.
