Black Jack Ketchum back in action

Jonjo O'Neill's much-touted seven-year-old Black Jack Ketchum made a highly pleasing return to action when sluicing home under a confident Tony McCoy in the Mears Group "Relkeel" Hurdle.

McCoy settled his mount in third place as market rival Blazing Bailey cut out the early running but asked him to move closer as the field were halfway down the back straight.
