As if any clues were needed, Barry Geraghty had his only ride at Sandown in the 32Red Casino Handicap Chase - and he duly made it a winning one.

It was a case of plan well executed for trainer Philip Hobbs and owner JP McManus, as Bold Henry (15-2) took the two-mile event by two and a quarter lengths.

Sarah Hobbs, representing her husband, said: "Barry said he jumped well from fence to fence and gave him a fantastic ride. He coped with the soft ground, we are delighted."

She added: "He said he was leaning a bit but would not worry about that, because he had so much confidence in his jumping. There were four in the race who had a chance and he had a nice weight, which Barry did, thankfully.

"As for future plans, that was the plan.

"There is nothing else. JP will usually tell us."
