Martin Harley had an impressive win at Chelmsford this evening.

The Trentagh jockey took victory aboard Aircraft Carrier in the Weatherbys General Stud Book Handicap.

On the John Ryan-trained three-year-old, Harley had four lengths to spare on Given Choice, the 8/1 shot ridden by Josephine Gordon.

Over one mile and six furlongs, Harley was held up for a bit before making a move with three furlongs to go.

A furlong from the post, Harley and Aircraft Carrier took over in front and ran on for a comfortable win.

Ten days ago, Harley won on Aircraft Carrier at Wolverhampton and this evening’s was the Donegal man’s 84th of 2018.
