THE Busy Fool provided 7lb claimer Tiernan Power Roche with his biggest success to date, when making virtually all aboard the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding in the featured Brown Lad Handicap Hurdle.

The 11/2 chance, absent since winning on handicap debut at Tipperary back in April, was strongly pressed after the penultimate flight in this two and a half mile event, but found plenty under pressure on the run-in to beat Park Of Kings by three-quarters of a length.
