The Easyfix Handicap saw Enable’s half-brother Centroid (4/1) hold on from the fast-finishing Penny Out
Gavin Ryan got a lovely run through on the inner turning for home and kicked the Dansili gelding a few lengths clear with over a furlong to race.
Penny Out had to chart a much wider course, and came from much further back, than the winner and her late thrust almost get her up, but at the line she was still a nose adrift. No Say Ever finished third at a big price, while the 11/4 favourite Share The Honour was never a factor and finished 14th.
It was a 44/1 double for winning trainer Dermot Weld, whose son and assistant Kris Weld said: "He is a half-brother to Enable and obviously isn't up to her class but it was nice to get another win with him.
"It all happened a bit too soon but he had to take the run (through on the inside) when he got it and he has held on well at the line. It's Gavin Ryan’s first winner for us.
