Chris Gordon continued his purple patch of the last 14 days after his son Freddie steered Jorebel to victory in the opening race on the card at Fontwell on Monday afternoon to bring up his third winner in the last eight runners with an impressive strike rate of 38%.

However, the race itself certainly wasn’t without incident. The favorite Graham fell early which left Jorebel who was left clear at the 4th to push ahead. The novice hurdler looked to have the race in the bag after being four lengths clear in the run in. Freddie Gordon dropped his hands in the final 110 yards which left Hill Station who had gradually made progress to challenge the Goodwin horse in the final stages.

Eventually Freddie Gordon managed to get an extra effort out of the six-year-old to win on the nod by a nose.

Charlie Longsdon saddled two horses in the 2m 3f handicap chase and came away with a first and second after Midnight Jewel gained honors over stablemate Alien Storm.

Midnight Jewel having the benefit of plenty of racing was scoring for the 10th time with Lilly Pinchin teaming up with the nine-year-old to win for the seventh time.

After the race, Longsdon said that the horse will have one more race before being put away for his holidays.

After finishing second on his C & D hurdle debut 24 days ago, Galactique went one better after scoring in the juvenile maiden hurdle race run over 2m 1f.

After the second last flight, Galactique held a slender lead from All Cost. Heading up to the line Caoilin Quinn had to work hard to go on and win by three quarters of a length.

Sarah Humphrey and the Yen Hall Farming Racing owners have had twenty-four hours they will remember for a long time.

The Wise Traveller took the honors at Plumpton yesterday at 25-1. Fourtowns started off much shorter for today’s 2m 1fhandicap hurdle with the six-year-old winning by two and a half lengths with James Best in the saddle.

Masterdream, made it three wins over the jumps after taking the penultimate race on the card, the 3m 2f handicap chase.

Having already been successful at Worcester, the gelding triumphed at Fontwell last month and bagged the hat trick in the 3m 1f handicap chase.

Coming to the last fence, there was little to choose between the son of Sea The Stars and Ballynaheer, but a good jump under ConorO ‘Farrell was enough for the gelding to pull clear up to the run in to score by four lengths.

Harry Cobden was denied his 1,000 career winner after Gold Link finished second behind War Lord in the finale.
