Swansea Bay makes it four

SWANSEA BAY extended his unbeaten sequence to four this season with another cracking performance under Andrew Thornton in the £50,000 Edward Hanmer Memorial Chase at Haydock Park yesterday.

With only three runners, Hussard Collonges set off in front but ploughed through the second fence, with Russ Garritty doing well to stay on board. He went on to put in a fine display of jumping, however, tracked all the way by Swansea Bay.

Kingsmark, bidding to win the race for the fourth consecutive time, was never really travelling and his hopes had gone before the third-last fence.
