Stuart Crawford produced yet another first time out bumper winner at Sedgefield this afternoon as his Legacy Gold took the last with the trainer's brother Steven in the saddle.

The 5yo Gold Well filly was sent off the 7/2 favourite and she hit the front over two furlongs out, before being driven out from there to score by three and a quarter lengths.

The winner is out of a half-sister to Mossbank, who won six times in his career including the Munster National at Limerick and the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase, while the dam herself, Durgams Delight, won nine times on the level.

The Larne based Crawford brothers also took the bumper at Ayr last Thursday with newcomer Fine Rightly who won at 10/1.
