Irish raider Cromwell cashes in with new purchase King's Wharf

Gavin Cromwell made an instant profit on ex-Willie Mullins King's Wharf when the Irish raider and Jack Kennedy strolled home well clear of Avidity in the 2m1f chase.

It was the first course runner and ride for the winning combination and Cromwell said: "We paid £6,000 for him at Ascot in March and we've won more than seven grand here on his first run for us."

Cromwell, also a farrier to leading lights such as Gordon Elliott, added: "He looks like a good buy and I was planing to come back here again regardless of the result as they give you such a warm welcome."
