A review of the pick of the action from Hamilton Park where a gambled on winner ended a lean spell for trainer David Brown.
Munfallet ended a lean spell for David Brown when landing a gamble in the feature race at Hamilton Park on Wednesday.
Backed from a morning price of 15/2, he was sent off 11/4 favourite before making all in the Taggarts Jaguar XE Handicap under Hector Crouch.
Brown, who had gone 55 days and 43 runners without a winner, said: "I thought he'd win, in fact he'd been working so well I couldn't see him being beat. I've a good strike-rate here and that's eleven winners now from my last 31 runners.
"It's a lovely place and they really know how to look after you. I love coming up and this horse has also won here in the past."
Jim Goldie has his string in red hot form and he struck with Fergal Lynch-ridden Latin Rebel, who was winning his first race in 23 Flat starts plus four in NHF races, in the racinguk/freetrial Handicap.
The winning trainer said: "He was always finding one too good but it fell into his lap tonight. They went a good gallop and Fergal said 'he had a think about it' but he didn't want to bully him."
Sammy Jo Bell kept her good run going when scoring on Milady Eileen for her boss Richard Fahey in the Taggarts Lanarkshire Handicap.
Approaching Squall rewarded connections' long journey from Sir Michael Stoute's Newmarket base with a length and three quarters success at odds of 4/11 in the Taggarts Land Rover Maiden Stakes under Tom Eaves.
Cadmium (9/4) was the fourth winning favourite on the night when taking the finale by a neck to record her second win in just four starts since joining Micky Hammond.
There was some respite for the layers though with Ya Boy Sir landing the preceding race for Iain Jardine at 50/1 while Thewestwalian (10/1) got the better of favourite Shesnotforturning in a photo finish to the opening amateur riders' handicap for Oxfordshire based handler Peter Hiatt.
