It didn’t take Craig Dawson long to demonstrate that all was all definitely well in his Hawick kennel.

The Newcastle trainer shut up shop because of a sickness that had swept through his team and he was forced to withdraw 19 runners from the Newcastle cards on Saturday May 17, but he was back with a bang on Saturday.

Farloe Ozzi and Target Eagle combined to give him a double at the afternoon session on Tyneside and then Adamant Patsy got him off the mark in the first race on the evening card where he went on to complete another twosome thanks to Twinkling Star.
