Grand National-winning jockey Graham Lee rode two winners at Bath Racecourse's annual Real Ale Festival Racenight on Friday.
Lee, who was on board Amberleigh House when it triumphed in the world famous steeplechase at Aintree in 2004, helped Zeb Un Nisa and Stockhill Diva to victory in the third and sixth races in Bath.
Glens Wobbly won the opening race – the Bath Ales Graze Bar and Chop House Handicap – for jockey Ryan Tate and trainer Jonathan Geake.
Flat racing champion jockey Richard Hughes was in the winners' enclosure in the second race, triumphing in the Bath Ales Gem Fillies' Handicap on board the Robert Cowill-trained Naivasha.
Lee then collected the first of his double as favourite Zeb Un Nisa, trained by Roger Charlton, triumphed in the Bath Ales Hop Pole EBF Stallions' Maiden Stakes.
Handler George Baker saw his charge Ishiamber, ridden by Pat Cosgrove, come home first in the Bath Ales Summer's Hare Handicap.
The fifth race – the Bath Ales Special Pale Ale Maiden Fillies' Stakes – was easily won by favourite Sunrise Star for jockey Sean Levey and trainer Lady Cecil.
And the next race saw Lee bag a second success of the night, this time for trainer Brendan Powell, as he led Stockhill Diva home in the Bath Ales Salamander Handicap.
The William Muir-trained Avocaudeau brought the curtain down on the evening with victory in the seventh and final race – the Bath Ales Brewery Classified Stakes – for jockey Martin Dwyer.
