Mister strikes gold as Chief departs scene
The Grade Two contest was rescheduled from last Monday’s abandoned meeting and attracted good field headed by Well Chief, who had finished a highly creditable third to Moscow Flyer and Azertyuiop in the William Hill Tingle Creek Trophy at Sandown Park last month.
As a result of that effort Martin Pipe’s bonny chestnut was sent off the 8-13 favourite to capture the £29,000 winner’s purse, but things did not go according to plan.
