Sizing Platinum and Jonathan Burke jump the last© Photo Healy Racing
The Henry De Bromhead trained Sizing Platinum made a winning chase debut at Limerick today, landing the Book Online At Limerickraces.ie Beginners Chase for jockey Jonathan Burke and owners Ann and Alan Potts.
The son of Definite Article led from the seventh fence and made the rest, eventually staying on strongly to defeat well backed 11/8 favourite Hash Brown which was bidding to give Barry Geraghty his first winner in his new role as J.P. McManus' retained jockey.
Following the win, De Bromhead stated "that was good and he jumped deadly and really well. It can be trappy enough here at Limerick but he seems to have improved for a fence.
"He is big and raw and only coming to himself now. Our hands are almost tied as to where he will run next as there are very few novices over two miles during the summer with the Galway Festival and Kilbegnet Chase at Roscommon on that route."
