Waley-Cohen on a roll

Young amateur Sam Waley-Cohen, who rode his first Cheltenham Festival winner last month, completed a famous double when guiding Katarino to victory over the Grand National fences in the John Smith’s Fox Hunters’ Chase at Aintree today.

Apart from a slight mistake at the Canal Turn, the 100-30 favourite put up a sound display of jumping to beat Caught At Dawn by a length and a half, with Montifault another 15 back in third.
