Doumen delivers in Post

Francois Doumen delivered a powerful rebuttal to fears over the well-being of his string as he dominated proceedings at Sandown Park, highlighted by a one-two in the £100,000 Racing Post Chase.

Punters who ignored the Frenchman’s warnings over recent bad weather affecting the fitness of his horses were cheering as Innox ran out a two-and-a-half-length victor over stablemate L’Ami.
