The Adrian Keatley trained Mr Champers made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Cork today, landing the Buy Online @corkracecourse Handicap Hurdle under jockey Roger Loughran.

The son of Marienbard raced with the pace throughout and while he fluffed his lines with a mistake when leading at the final flight, rallied well on the run-in to peg back SIlent Sun for a neck win.

Keatley wasn’t present for his fourth winner in the last 16 days and was a sixth winner for Loughran this season.
