Tony McCoy enjoyed a winner on what is almost certain to be his final visit to Fakenham when steering Artifice Sivola to a facile success in the King’s Lynn Handicap Chase yesterday.

Lucy Wadham has a lot to thank The Dark Lord for during the last few years and the veteran came up trumps when he was most needed at Fakenham.

DENIS O’REGAN ensured he will never forget his first experience of Fakenham by collecting a 14-day ban for riding a finish a circuit too early.
