Wolverhampton jockey Racheal Kneller has steered home her first winner since her return after serious injury.

Kneller, from Penn, fractured her spine and pelvis in a fall last August and scored on her ninth ride since her recent return to action.

She won at Leicester yesterday on the Jamie Osborne-trained Native Heart, crossing the line 14 lengths clear.

"This is only my first month back," she said. "I've been riding out for Mr Osborne every week – I owe him a lot for that winner."
