Peniaphobia

For Fahey victory was vindication that this was the ideal race for the 5-1 winner, who had bypassed a trip to Royal Ascot to wait for a tilt at this £250,000 prize - a race so often the calling card of Richard Hannon.

Lilbourne Lass was sent off the 4-1 favourite to give Hannon an eighth Super Sprint win and proved much the best of a small group of six that raced on the far rail. Jimmy Quinn's mount was in charge on her side throughout the final furlong and a half, but Hanagan produced Peniaphobia at the right time to get up and score by a neck.

An ecstatic Fahey said: "I'm delighted for the owners and I told them this was their race. This is a great race for the smaller owner, and I told them I had targeted the horse at the race.

"It's a great race to win, it's been Richard Hannon's race and I just joked with him it's about time someone else won it."

Hanagan said: "My horse was getting lonely in the middle, but when he saw the other horse he went again and there was plenty left.

"It means a lot (to win the race for Fahey) - it's fantastic to give the old boss a winner in a race like this."
