* ANTHEA Farrell, whose career hung in the balance following a fall at

Edinburgh earlier this year, was back in the winner's enclosure on

Saturday on Touch Above, a Beverley course specialist.

Touch Above was recording the ninth success of his 75-race career. All

but one of those triumphs have been achieved at the seven-year-old's

favourite Humberside venue.

Farrell, daughter of Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning trainer Peter

Beaumont, was celebrating her thirty-first birthday 24 hours late as she

steered the 11-8 favourite to a four lengths victory.
