Duddy jumping for joy

Canavan, carrying the colours made famous on the Flat by such stars as Halmahera and Amadeus Wolf, gave owner John Duddy more cause for celebration with victory in the Camerons Brewery Maiden Chase at Sedgefield.

The Ferdy Murphy-trained grey was backed down to 11-8 favourite after a good second here seven weeks ago and apart from one slight mistake, his supporters had very little cause for concern.
