Rhapando gave Banbury trainer Paul Webber his first winner for more than three months when scoring at Kempton yesterday.
Tom O’Brien sent the six-year-old into the lead after the fourth last in a handicap chase over an extended two and a half miles.
And the 5-2 chance kept up the gallop to come home four lengths clear of Fond Memory.
It represented a welcome change of fortune for the Mollington handler, who had seen his previous 63 runners over jumps beaten.
In addition, the yard lost Couldhavehaditall, who was put down at Bourton Vale Veterinary Surgery after X-rays showed he had suffered two fractures to his neck and damage to his spinal cord in a heavy fall at Towcester this month.
