The Michael McDonogh trained Black Zero gained his first hurdles win at Gowran today, and a fourth career success when winning the TJ Reid & Ashgrove Stables Handicap Hurdle.

Ridden by Shane Crimin, the son of Blueprint battled well on the run-in for a length win over Vicangelome

McDonogh wasn't present for the eight year old's first win since landing a hat-trick of wins in November and December 2014.

Black Zero's 14/1 win was providing some minor respite for Cheltenham-battered bookmakers, following on from the 100/1 win of Capture The Drama and 12/1 success of One Can Cally in the opener.
