Star turn at Southwell

Komreyev Star, who ended Ray Peacock’s seven-year wait for a winner at Southwell a month ago, ensured the next one would not be quite so long in coming by repeating the trick over the same course and distance.

After a disappointing follow-up effort over a longer distance, the return to a mile in the Kids Are Always Happy Pontin’s Handicap proved just the ticket for the six-year-old.
