Times Up bounced back to form to land the Weatherbys Insurance Lonsdale Cup at York for veteran trainer John Dunlop in the hands of the in-form William Buick.
The Arundel handler has endured a largely disappointing season to date and Times Up was an 11-1 chance having failed to make a serious impact on his last three starts.
Hot favourite Saddler's Rock set a sedate gallop for much of the two-mile journey but was soon swallowed up in the straight, and though there were plenty in with a chance entering the closing stages it was Times Up who finished best of all to grab the Group Two prize by two and a quarter lengths.

LOCO SPARKS CELEBRATIONS.

Experience counted over youth in Goodwood's Betfair Celebration Mile as Premio Loco added the eighth Group race of his invaluable contribution to trainer Chris Wall and owner Bernard Westley.
Outranking each of his rivals by more than three years and soundly beaten on his two most recent starts, admittedly once by Frankel at Royal Ascot, the chestnut was disregarded in the betting at 20-1.
But that was not taking into account his tenacity, as after losing his lead to Thistle Bird and 7-4 favourite Aljamaaheer at the furlong marker, he was galvanised along the far rail by George Baker to cross the line a neck and a head in front of the other two.
