Charlie back on song

Charlie Tokyo played the starring role in a double for Paul Hanagan when coming out best in a three-way photo to the FSB 'Fighting Red Tape' Handicap at Leicester.Rejuvenated by a success in a charity race at Doncaster, the six-year-old ended a long losing run, displaying the kind of soft-ground form that enabled him to win the John Smith's Cup two years ago.Always travelling kindly in second, the 4-1 chance led at the quarter-mile pole and then gamely resisted Rangefinder and Keisha Kayleigh by a head and a neck.Travelling head groom Graham Steel said: "The ground is a big factor and he really does need to get his toe in."Hanagan initiated his brace aboard Howard Johnson's Hoss Cartwright (100-30) in the seven-furlong maiden.The combination were out of the stalls like lightning and made all to hold the promising King's Parade by a neck, with the jockey commenting: "I was keen to make full use of his experience edge."Richard Hills is riding well and notched a third winner in 24 hours when Imaam (100-30) made every yard in the Leicester Mercury Family Fun Day Handicap, comfortably holding Rafta and Kyllachy Star.Hills said: "He's by Pivotal and loved the conditions. We were handy on him at Newmarket last week and it made sense to employ similar tactics."Vivaci (15-8 favourite) successfully stepped into handicap company for Ralph Beckett and apprentice John Fahy when taking the FSB 'The Leading Business Organisation' Handicap by four and a half lengths from Mayolynn.Stephen Donohoe judged it just right on John Ryan's Focail Eile (5-2 favourite) when taking the Federation Of Small Businesses 'Business Enterprise' Handicap by a neck from Very Well Red.
