Weekend to remember for Heskin

HE may only be in the early days of a hugely promising career, but Adrian Heskin is unlikely to forget this weekend in a hurry.

Seen to great effect when making nearly all the running on Church Island in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown on Saturday, he also made his first ride at Wetherby a winning one as Thyne For Deploy opened his account in the National Festival Circus Is Here Today Maiden Hurdle.

Wetherby on a Sunday may not normally grab the headlines, but Heskin once again showed he possesses an astute tactical brain on his 18-year-old shoulders.
