The Malton-based trainer saddled five of the 17 runners and watched Charlie Tokyo, ridden by his 3lb apprentice Jamie Moriarty, take the spoils from Flying Clarets.

Collateral Damage, also trained in Malton by Tim Easterby, was third to complete a clean sweep for Yorkshire. Fahey also sent out the fifth Smart Instinct, while another of his, Avoriaz, refused to race after going barely 50 yards. Flying Clarets and Fahey's other runner Fortunate Isle set the early pace but while the latter faded to finish 13th, the former took a clear lead early in the straight.

Charlie Tokyo appeared in his slipstream, however, pulling the proverbial ton.

Moriarty hung onto his mount until a furlong out when he popped the question and Charlie Tokyo (11-1) swept into the lead to win by half a length. The game Flying Clarets (16-1) was three and a half lengths clear of Collateral Damage (11-1), with Greek Well (6-1 joint-favourite) fourth.
