Michael Kinane moved onto the 64-winner mark at the head of the Jockeys' Championship by recording a 12 to 1 double on Castledale and Sheer Tenby at Gowran Last night.

Castledale was all the rage in the nursery and the top-weight justified the confidence under a positive ride.

The David Wachman-trained colt was close to the pace throughout, and kept on under pressure for a hard-earned half-length victory over Granted Wish.

Kinane followed up when Sheer Tenby made all in the mile handicap and stayed on gamely to deny Definite Best by a length.

Joe Murphy saddled his first winner of the season when Capabel caused a major shock in the opening two-year-old maiden. Fran Berry's mount made all and stayed on gamely to hold off the favourite Anchor by a short head.

"A lot of the thanks goes to Kieran Gaule for this win, and I hope there is more improvement to come from him," said Murphy, who has 10 in training near Fethard.

In Theory notched up his second win in the space of four days when stretching clear under Pat Cosgrave to beat the flattering Avec Plaisir by two lengths in the apprentice handicap.
