Aramram takes step out of handicaps to land Cammdige

Aramram ensured Richard Hannon started the new season with a bang as he got up to win the William Hill Price Boosts Every Day Cammidge Trophy Stakes at Doncaster.

Tim Easterby’s seasoned sprinter Art Power got a jump on the field out of the stalls and set the early pace, but it was Clive Cox’s Jasour who was the first to lay down the challenge as they entered the final furlong.

Sean Leavy had timed his challenge on the 12-1 shot Aramram to perfection, however, and came home a length clear from Jasour with Caburn in third.

“Sean just adores this horse because of his attitude, he’s ultra consistent and very talented,” said Hannon, who was returning immediately to the winner’s enclosure having already landed the Brocklesby.

“His commitment is faultless. Sean made me run him, really, I wanted to go down the handicap route.

“He’s improved from last year, that much is very clear, and I’m delighted for everyone at home.”

When asked if Aramram will be pencilled in for a top-level sprint campaign, Hannon added: “Absolutely. If there’s a race on day in the week with a ‘y’ in it, he’ll be entered!”
