Benson the star of the show

Peters Star relished the heavy ground at Haydock to give Paul Benson another welcome winner in the Taylormade Betting Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle today.

The Donald McCain-trained seven-year-old (9-4 favourite) led briefly early on, then went ahead again at the fourth flight and made the rest of the running to score easing down by five lengths from Stick Together.
