Carruthers takes Ascot glory
Carruthers put up an exemplary round of jumping to win the Sodexho Reynoldstown Novices' Chase at Ascot today.
Part-owned by legendary former jockey Lord Oaksey and trained by Mark Bradstock, Mattie Batchelor was given an armchair ride by the six-year-old who saw off some exalted rivals at odds of 7-4.
