IMPERIAL GLORY FOR MONGAN.

First Avenue came from the clouds to cause a 20-1 surprise in the Paddy Power Imperial Cup at Sandown to give Laura Mongan the biggest winner of her career.
With more in front of him than behind him as he turned into the straight some 15 lengths behind the runaway leader Kazlian, his young jockey Nathan Adams refused to panic.
Kazlian was still some five lengths clear when he crashed through the second-last, losing his momentum and letting his challengers close the gap, and First Avenue hit top gear to power away and win by three and and a half lengths from the staying-on Tanerko Emery. Kazlian finished third
