Pipe and McCoy in the mix with Sedgefield double

POLINAMIX looked a smart recruit to the British jumping scene when outclassing his rivals in the Take Control With WBX.COM Juvenile Novices’ Hurdle on his way to completing a double for David Pipe and Tony McCoy at Sedgefield.

The three-year-old, the 11-8 favourite, had been unplaced on his two appearances over hurdles in France before joining the Pipe team but was a different proposition in this extended two mile, one furlong test.

He travelled and jumped well and when McCoy consented to let him ease to the front after jumping the penultimate flight, just cruised away to pass the post with 12 lengths to spare over Folk Tune.
