TRAINER David Simcock had winners at both Ascot and Newmarket this afternoon, thanks to Halation and The Cashel Man.
On Shergar Cup Day at the royal racecourse, Halation notched a deserved success in a mile handicap on the round course.
He was given a perfectly-judged hold-up ride by Jamie Spencer, bursting from last to first in a dazzling final flourish.
Halation was anchored at the rear until a quarter of the mile from home when Spencer gave him the office.
The Trillium Place runner hit the front in the final 100 yards, going on to score by half a length at odds of 5/1.
Back at Newmarket, there was a 'home' win for the Simcock team on the July Course where The Cashel Man took a two-mile handicap by five lengths.
The 15/8 joint favourite, ridden by Joe Fanning, was winning for the third time in his last four starts.
