Irish success in England

Gordon Elliott continued his recent good run of form with another winner in the UK yesterday where Barry Geraghty was also on the mark while Stamullen trainer Tom McCourt had a winner at Wolverhampton last night Elliott won the feature race at Fakenham, a three-mile handicap chase worth almost £15,000 to the winner when Romanesco was first past the post and made amends after a fall at Cheltenham last week. Geraghty rodea winner for The Queen when he won for the second time in-a-row with Close Touch for trainer Nicvky Henderson. McCourt made the trip to Wolverhampton and won the opening race with the Oliver Curtis-owned My Good Brother which ran at the Bellewstown festival in August
