Ben Haslam landed the first Grade Two victory of his training career as Richie McLernon rolled back the years with an aggressive ride on Passing Diamond in the Paddy Power Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices’ Chase at Cheltenham.While the race was shorn of Old Park Star and Kabral Du Mathan due to the quick ground, those who ran served up a real treat with the eventual winner and Workahead setting off at a great clip.When Workahead took over at the second last Passing Diamond (13-2) looked beaten but he responded to McLernon’s urgings and rallied up the hill to win by two and a quarter lengths.
