No stopping evergreen Wishfull

Wishfull Thinking continued to defy his advancing years as he put up a bold display of jumping to make virtually every yard in the Betfred Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon.

Being run for the first time on a Sunday, racegoers were treated to a thrilling renewal, with the Philip Hobbs-trained winner a sight to behold at many of his fences, coming in the wake of his victory under a big weight in the Old Roan Chase at Aintree and third to Al Ferof at Ascot.

However, he had 7-4 favourite Eduard for company at the business end as the pair jumped two out together, with Nicky Richards’ market leader looking like he might have the upper hand coming to the last.
