Tony Ross made the most of the opportunities presented to him by the absence of Mary Reveley's big two jockeys to secure a 32 to 1 four-timer at Catterick yesterday.

With Peter Niven on the sidelines and Alan Dempsey also injured, Ross took centre stage with victories on Supreme Fortune, Woodfield Gale, Foundry Lane, all trained by Reveley, and Formidable Partner.

Ross (22), a former leading point-to-point rider from Co Meath, was recommended to Reveley by Ted Walsh. He broke his duck in Britain when winning on Free only to be forced onto the sidelines with a fractured jaw. But Ross, who turned professional last month, was back at Christmas time and is repaying the faith of Reveley.
