Trainer John 'Shark' Hanlon registered a ninth winner since lockdown ended when his Whatsinthecorner landed the Newtown Anner Handicap Hurdle at Clonmel today, for jockey Jody McGravey.

The son of Windsor Knot was one of Hanlon's previous eight winners when winning at Bellewstown in July and today stayed on strongly on the run-in to score a six lengths win over Western Boy

Hanlon has already passed last year's seasonal national hunt tally of six winners, having had 12 winners in the 2018/19 season.
