'We understand each other' - William Knight and Brandon Wilkie enjoy further success with Sugarloaf Lenny

Apprentice jockey Brandon Wilkie's impressive record for trainer William Knight continued when Sugarloaf Lenny narrowly obliged in the 1m4f handicap.

The duo got up to win by a neck at Yarmouth last time and got the verdict in an even closer finish when denying Caballo De Mar by a nose, which took their strike-rate to 33 per cent when teaming up.

They have been a profitable partnership to follow, with their runners yielding an impressive £53.13 profit from a £1 level stake. Wilkie is also one victory away from his 50th career win, which would reduce his claim to 3lb.

"Myself and Brandon understand each other and if he gets it wrong, he admits it and moves on, which I like," Knight said. "He's riding with lots of confidence and works hard, but I hope he doesn't lose his 5lb claim, so he can use it on Holkham Bay in the Portland at Doncaster on Saturday!"

On the winner, Knight added: "He got the mile and a half well today, which opens up a few more avenues. He's got an upward profile and the handicapper can't be too harsh, because he's only just winning."

Bradley bounces back

Paddy Bradley put his Brighton blues behind him when giving trainer Andrew Martin his first Flat winner this year on Lion Ring in the 5f handicap.

Bradley picked up a six-day careless riding ban following the last race at Brighton's meeting on Monday, but bounced back with the six-year-old's length success.
