Brian The Snail – tipped – landed the Betway Handicap over six furlongs at Newcastle on June 1, under jockey Tony Hamilton, returning at 13-2.

Richard Fahey trained Brian The Snail managed to hang on at the winning post – in a ding dong battle photo finish nose victory over Yousini, Wild Edric finished third.

“I was tight for room, but he has the ability, and he likes the all weather track. He is a nice horse,” said jockey Hamilton.
