Pigeon Island in flying form at Kempton

Pigeon Island, who is retaining his form despite an incredibly arduous campaign, flew right away with the Anglo Irish Bank Dovecote Novices' Hurdle at Kempton.

Paddy Brennan sneaked through on the inside rail almost unnoticed to take over the Grade Two event with two flights to jump and the 7-2 shot quickened away to score by a ready five lengths.
