WILLIAM Haggas enhanced his already outstanding recent record in Ireland by prevailing in a thrilling finish to the Paddy Power Irish Lincolnshire with Lattam under a masterfully-timed ride by Chris Hayes.

It was the first British-trained winner in the €100,000 premier handicap’s history, with the 8/1 shot getting up in the final stride to break the heart of admirable stalwart Saltonstall by a short-head, one of six Ado McGuinness-trained runners to finish in the first 10 places.
