The two market leaders raced together for the best part of a circuit and things appeared to be going well as the selection travelled well within himself while Bennys Well was clearly racing under sufferance. That all changed in an instant as Red Rocco broke down badly in front of the stands and was quickly pulled up by Sam Twiston-Davies; Bennys Well was left at the head of affairs but he took a crashing fall at the sixteenth in the process handing the initiative to Richard Johnson aboard Woodford County. Johnson was working overtime on Philip Hobbs' charge but he'd seen off the challenge of Fentara before the last but couldn't repel Blenheim Brook (13/2) on the long run - there was a neck between the pair on the line.<br /><br />Better luck at Newton Abbot where selection Changing The Guard (5/2) made all and had the race in the bag when making a mistake two out; he finished four lengths ahead of 9/4 favourite Sonofagun. <br /><br />In the Haydock bumper Blaklion (5/4f) looked in trouble when headed by Degooch (5/1) a furlong out but the favourite showed admirable resolution to get back up to win despite Sam Twiston-Davies losing his irons close home.
