Pat Eddery revived memories of happy days at Catterick when capping his first visit to the North Yorkshire track for years with victory on Susan's Pride in the Gods Solution Handicap.
'It is a long, long time, since I was last here, but I have ridden lots of winners on the course in the past for Frank Carr in particular,' said the 11-times champion.
'I rode Susan's Pride at Windsor on Monday and we would definitely have won if we had got a split - he never had a race really as a result of that.
'And when Brian rang me on my way home that night and said he was going to run the horse quickly at Catterick, I decided to come here, rather than go to Nottingham and it has all worked out. '
Meehan, saddling his first Catterick winner, said: 'I have had 12 runners up here in seven and a half years so it is nice to have my first winner.'
Alan Berry had out his first turf Flat winner since taking over from his father Jack when Bennochy opened her account in the Springtime Classified Stakes.
'I have had a winner on the all-weather and a couple over jumps, but this is my first real one,' he said.
David Evans chalked up his first success since moving from Welshpool to Pandy, mid Wales, when Noukari won the Whorlton Handicap.
Evans said: 'I would like another one like Noukari, he is very tough and will run again at Southwell on Friday.'
Apprentice Dean Mernagh was suspended for two days (April 7-8) for careless riding on Moonlight Monty who was relegated to third after finishing second to Noukari. Prince Nicholas was promoted from third to second.
