AINTREE stages its popular Ladies' Night tomorrow and useful mare Hopbine can get the evening off to a flyer for one of the game's most popular jockeys, Graham Lee.

Iron Man's jockey Graham Lee, who bids for a repeat Grand National triumph on Amberleigh House this Saturday, got a big week off to a winning start as Hopbine gained her first victory for more than a year in the two-and-threequarter-mile handicap hurdle.

Hopbine benefited from a step up in trip last time when scoring at Wincanton and should find the three miles of the Burton Green Handicap Hurdle ideal.

Goldbrook sparkled at 5-1 for Humber Hotel, Trek, Felis Donkeys, LMRCA B, Lord Raglan Pool, Bill & Bobs MoT and Premier United FC and Hopbine did wonders at 8-1 for Newton Stags FC and X Postal.

McCoy made it four on the day and a career total of 2,002 with wins on Tucacas and Hopbine and he and Johnson top the pile in a golden age of jockeys.

Coming from off the pace, he squeezed through a narrow gap between his stablemate I Got Rhythm and the stands-side rails after the last to score by three lengths from Hopbine, who ran on to foil a one-two for trainer Keith Reveley.

The champion headed towards his next landmark when Tucacas (4-5), also trained by Pipe, got the better of Ruby Gale in a ding-dong battle up the home straight in the Connaught Gas Force Novices' Chase, and he rounded off a memorable afternoon when galvanising Hopbine (8-1) to a hard-earned success over Polish Cloud for the concluding Connaught Partnership Handicap Hurdle.
