CHOISHARP managed to get his head in front for the first time on August 30 as he won a 5f handicap at Yarmouth.
Mr Giuliano Manfredini's colt had finished in the frame in four of his previous eight outings and deserved his maiden victory.
Jockey Jerry O'Dwyer had the son of Choisir chasing the fast-starting Silver Prelude and it was clear from over a furlong out that it was going to develop into a head-to-head battle between the two.
Through the final exchanges Silver Prelude was unable to find any extra while Marco Botti's charge was not for stopping.
Sure enough, Choisharp took over and had a length in hand as he hit the line for a 7/2 success.
