Spencer on title charge

TITLE-CHASING Jamie Spencer moved on to 64 for the season with a 19-1 double on Hiccups and Hilltime at Catterick yesterday.

It kept him in the lead in what looks a wide-open race for the riders’ championship in which five jockeys began the day ahead of hot favourite Frankie Dettori.

Spencer replaced the injured David McCabe on Hiccups in the Gala Casinos Handicap and brought the 7-2 shot with a well-timed run to collar Alchemist Master inside the final furlong and score by a length and a half.
