Casheldale Lad, trained for Noel and Valerie Moran’s Bective Stud by Gordon Elliott, gave amateur Josh Williamson the biggest win of his career when defying top-weight in the €100,000 William Hill Each Way Extra Handicap Hurdle on Ladies Day in Listowel.
The 3/1 favourite, a close third in the Guinness Galway Hurdle last time, tracked Royal Hollow until edging ahead three out and, pressed by veteran Lord Erskine in the straight, stayed on dourly to land the spoils by a length and a quarter, with the winner’s stable-companion Bowensonfire staying on to fill third spot.
