"He is improving with every run," stated the younger Ison. "He went alright today - he is getting quicker and putting it all together."

Tom then picked up a driving double when he guided the Brendan James-trained Lady Pebbles to a win.

The Dean Chapple stables enjoyed a training double at the Tamworth meeting with the wins of Grandview and Shannon's Shadow.

Chapple, at 16 years young, only recently commenced his driving career and picked up his third win.

Jemma Coney combined with her trainer father Greg to secure three wins at Tamworth via Siangdi, Cash Em and Table Talk.

"He did everything right and got the job done," said Jemma of Table Talk.
