Cheltenham always seems to prove lucky for some young, up-and-coming Irish jockey every now and again.
This year, it was Eadestown-native Tom Harney who had his first ride there on Tuesday.
The 7lb claimer rode 80-1 shot Eagles Reign to come second on the opening day of the festival for local trainer Ross O’Sullivan.
