Dispite a couple of jumping errors, Thomas Todd wins again under a determined ride from Patrick Cowley.
THOMAS TODD has been in good form all season and made the most of a drop in grade despite looking in serious trouble when his rider lost an iron following a mistake at the eighth. He soon recovered from that incident and, having gone on early in the straight, he showed a good attitude to hang on.
Cavalry Scout battles on well to hold on at Leicester under a good ride from Ross Chapman. A well deserved winner for loyal owner Marian Pepperdine.
CAVALRY SCOUT had been a beaten favourite on his last three starts but there was money for him again and he got the job done. In and out of the lead and tending to jump to his right, he was tired on the run-in but clung on. QUOTES: CAVALRY SCOUT isn't a natural but he toughed it out. He'd been banging on the door so we were hopeful today and Ross gave him a tremendous ride - Laura Morgan, trainer
Haasab battles it out bravely at Catterick, carrying top weight of 12.3 , under a strong ride from Conor Brace
HAASAB reverted to a hold-up ride and was suited by the way this was run, making steady progress from off the pace before just holding the second's late burst. He could run unpenalised at Sedgefield on Tuesday
QUOTES: HASANKEY walked through the last but battled all the way to the line. This galloping track suited him much better and he’ll prefer better ground. He’ll probably have a break now and come back in the spring. He was bought off the Flat in Ireland as a dual-purpose horse – Laura Morgan, trainer.
Add 117yds. A fair juvenile hurdle. The front three in the market came clear and fought out a thrilling, separate race to the remainder. HASANKEY was dropping in class after his Musselburgh second earlier in the month. He showed a decent attitude to get the better of a good three-way scrap after his mistake at the last. The 3yo should continue to develop into a fairly decent handicapper.
An excellent front running ride from jockey Ryan Day saw Thomas Todd run out a comfortable winner at Fakenham
THOMAS TODD jumped soundly (bar an error at the last) and turned in his best effort over fences on this first start since February. He clearly goes well fresh, he is fully effective over 3m and he should be able to win again granted a sound surface.
A gutsy win for Beautiful Ben at Market Rasen. Carrying top weight and under a powerful ride from Adam Wedge.
BEAUTIFUL BEN, with a couple of creditable thirds since winning off a 5lb lower mark in July, enjoyed the drop in class. He looked the winner jumping the last, but was headed briefly on the run-in before showing tremendous resolution to get back up. He shouldn't go up much and can remain competitive before the softer ground sets in
Beautiful Ben got off the mark for the yard under a positive ride from Adam Wedge, at a windy and wet Perth Racecourse
BEAUTIFUL BEN had shown okay form in two starts over hurdles for Laura Morgan following a long lay off and built on that to take this. He was fairly treated on some of his Irish form but it's fair to say this success wasn't easy to predict before the off.
Zacharova winning her third bumper from four runs and giving Laura Morgan her first double as a trainer.
ZAKHAROVA went on with a circuit left and won with a bit up her sleeve, her rider not needing to be hard on her to hold the closing runner-up. She's a pretty useful mare, whose only defeat in four bumpers came in a Grade 2, while she completed a double on the day for her trainer and rider.
Cake De L’Isle gets off the mark for the yard at Kelso under a positive ride from Tabitha Worsley
CAKE DE L'ISLE, having his second run for the Laura Morgan stable, jumped better than he did at Southwell and seemed to enjoy himself in front. He had a tongue tie back on, while this is a more suitable trip for him.
Taras Day winning nicely at Southwell under a strong ride from Patrick Cowley
TARAS DAY really appreciated the step back up in trip kept to this course under a notable jockey booking. She came bravely between rivals at the last and won going away by the line.
