Venetia Williams hopes to strike while the iron is hot with Jolly Boy after the lightly-raced six-year-old comfortably lumped a 7lb penalty to victory at Fontwell.

Tora Bora got the better of a lengthy duel with Rosecliff to land the opening Shone Building Ltd Juvenile Novices’ Hurdle at Fontwell.

An audiotape said to be from Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida deputy warned that the terror group would target Americans “in their homeland” and drive the military from US bases.

Dozens of al-Qaida prisoners picked up after fleeing Tora Bora escaped after overcoming their Pakistani guards on a bus.
