Old stager Tatling 'as good as new'

The Tatling raised the roof on a bustling family day at Newbury today when swooping to conquer in the Blackmore Building Contractors Handicap.

Expertly brought back to near his best by another racing veteran, trainer Milton Bradley, the 12-year-old gelding scored by a neck from 100-30 favourite Kingswinford under apprentice Jack Dean - but would have won more decisively given any luck in running.
