Amateur rider Harry Swan landed the concluding bumper on the Gordon Elliott-trained Forceonmyown at Punchestown on Monday.
A runner-up at Limerick on St Stephen's Day, the Blue Riband Racing-owned 13/2 chance led before the straight and ran on well to win by two and three-parts of a length from the Liz Lawlor-trained 12/1 chance Jem’s Lilly which was ridden by Adam Ryan.
A son of nine-time champion jockey Charlie Swan, Harry rode his first winner on Stacey Sue, trained by his grandfather Timmy Hyde, in a bumper at Worcester on September 17, 2018.
His first winner in Ireland was Fiddlerontheroof (John Joe Walsh) Navan back in 2019 and the jockey continues to impress with this latest winner.
