Womba strikes Ascot gold

Chomba Womba’s victory in the Coral Ascot Hurdle proved the highlight of a 15-1 treble for trainer Nicky Henderson and jockey Barry Geraghty at the Berkshire venue.

The partnership is still in its early stages as Geraghty only joined the Seven Barrows team when stable stalwart Mick Fitzgerald retired over the summer.
