PERCY Warner stayed on strongly under Mike O’Connor to win the featured Kevin McManus Bookmaker Handicap Chase trainer Henry de Bromhead.

Sent off at 15/2, the Basil Holian-owned gelding led at the last before keeping on to win by a length and a quarter. Winning jockey O’Connor said: “Regardless of the race, this horse likes to be ridden this way, as he is the type of horse who needs to be warmed up. He put his head down and did it really well.
