MARTIN HARLEY bagged his latest winner at Wolverhampton yesterday, on board Coillte Cailin.

Three days after the Trentagh jockey announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Stephanie Thewlis, Harley was back in the winner’s enclosure yesterday.

In the Betway Handicap, Harley and Coillte Cailin held on inside the final furlong.

The six-year-old Coillte Cailin, trained by David O’Meara, was sent off the 11/4 favourite.

Held up initially, Coillte Cailin made good ground to lead with a furlong to go and edged out the 20/1 Toga Tiger.
