Rachael Blackmore edged one closer to Paul Townend in the jockeys’ championship, to now trail the defending champion by seven with six more meetings remaining.

Riding the easy to back Not Available in the second division of the New Sprint Two Day NH Race Meeting Maiden Hurdle at Kilbeggan, she stalked the pace being set by Buck’s Billionaire before driving her mount to the front and subsequently clear going to the last. It was winner number 88 of the season in Ireland for Blackmore, and 94 for winning trainer Henry de Bromhead.
