It was at Market Rasen on March 8, 1985 that Paul had his only success when Avantie, having led early on, came again at the last fence and narrowly got the better of the favourite Abo Ace in the Waddington Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase, scoring by a short head.

Despite that victory, Paul did not keep the ride and, although continuing for at least two more years, he did not win again.
