Positive tactics work a treat for Johnny Burke on Viconte Du Noyer
Viconte Du Noyer ran out the easiest winner of the afternoon, when gaining a deserved first success over fences in the Dawn Hi + Lo Milk Beginners’ Chase. Logical Song set off in front and quickly opened a clear advantage, with the winner settling in second place.
The positions remained largely unchanged until the leader made a bad mistake at the final fence down the far side. That allowed Viconte Du Noyer range upsides and, after taking his time before asserting, Burke rode the well-backed 5-4 favourite clear for a facile success, from The Herds Garden.
