5:30 Champion Bumper

Katie Walsh secured victory aboard Relegate in what will round off an emotional day for her.

Earlier she was forced to help her brother Ruby off the track after he suffered a suspected broken leg.

His horse, Al Boum Photo, had come down in the RSA Novices' Chase, and ended up rolling onto him.

But Katie did her brother proud in the final race of the day, the Champion Bumper, to produce 25/1 shot Relegate at just the right time.

Trainer Willie Mulluns trained the first three in the placings - Relegate, Carefully Selected at 6/1 and Tornado Flyer at 14/1.
