Choisya showed plenty of resolve to win the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Dick Hern Stakes at Haydock.

Simon and Ed Crisford’s course and distance winner was sent off at 14-1 for the Listed event in the hands of Harry Davies, despite showing plenty of promise when campaigned in deeper waters this term.
