David Wachman has long since turned his attention to racing on the level but he can still do the job with a jumping horse as he showed with Pageboy the convincing winner of division two of the Follow @TipperaryRaces On Twitter Maiden Hurdle under Johnny Cullen.
Crediting Wachman with a National Hunt winner for the first time since Manjoe scored at Navan in June 2006, Pageboy (carrying the Cane Brake, 5th in the 2007 Cheltenham Gold Cup, silks of the Mount Temple Two Racing Syndicate) arrived on the scene travelling with real ease at the second last.
It was just a case of Cullen (getting off the cold jockeys list) keeping the Galileo gelding's mind on the job from there home as Pageboy (well-backed through the day) crossed the line comfortably in front of outsider E Mac (TW & EM)
