Oliver Greenall's great season hits another high with shock 33-1 winner

Oliver Greenall had reasons to raise a celebratory glass after surpassing his previous seasonal-best tally at the weekend and more celebrations are in store for the up-and-coming trainer after he saddled his 20th winner of the season with A Large One Please.

Greenall's previous best tally was 18 but after passing that number with two winners on Sunday, the Cheshire-based trainer hit another notable number for the first time after the five-year-old caused a 33-1 shock in the 2m3½f novice hurdle.

"I'm not quite sure why he was at such a big price, we were there to win," the trainer said. "He probably got to the front a bit too soon and got a bit tired. We'll take our time with him and he won't run that many times this season. He's a staying chaser in the making."

On his career-best season, Greenall added: "It's fantastic, but we have to kick on again. We'd like 30 winners and a good horse. We lack that top-class horse, it's something we are striving for and this lad could be just that."

Greenall did not have to wait long for his 21st winner after landing the concluding race at Wincanton with First Man for an across-the-card double.
