Kyle McHugh was in the winners' enclosure after an impressive win at Lingfield on Saturday.

The Ballybofey jockey was on board 11/1 shot Mio Amico for trainer Michael Keady.

McHugh and the four year old led around the bend in the one mile four furlong race and held on to win by half a length from joint favourite Jack Langley, with 6/4 joint favourite Mr Nugget in third.

It was the only ride of the day for the young jockey, who is back in action again on Sunday at Southwell on 6/1 shot Horus.

McHugh is now based with Keady Racing in Newmarket and works with agent Frederik Tylicki.
