Wesley Joyce partnered his first winner since returning recently from serious injury at Cork yesterday and the apprentice wasted no time adding to his tally when successful aboard Enquire Within in division one of the Racing Next At Navan On September 2nd Handicap.
The Limerick native got a dream run up the inner in the straight to lead over a furlong out and kept on well under pressure to beat Appian Way by half-a-length. Tenth Amendment was a length further back in third with 4/1 favourite Fond Farewell completing the places in fourth.
Hand said, "The longer I have her the more she wants to stay. She hasn't that tactical speed and I'd say the track plays to her strengths big time, a big galloping track and she didn't really have to quicken.
“What can I say about Wesley, he gave her a brilliant ride. He gave her loads of confidence down the back.
“Her owner can't be here today. This is a serious lucky track for me, that's two runners for this lady (Maura McGuinness) here and both of them have won.”
Enquire Within was available at 25/1 earlier in the day but was supported into 11/1.
