1pt win at 11-2 with Betfred, Coral & LadbrokesI can't get enough of veterans' races and there's plenty of old favourites in the Betway Supporting Greatwood Veterans' Handicap Chase (2.05) at Newbury this afternoon.
The 12 runners include winners of the Scottish National, bet365 Gold Cup, RSA, Reynoldstown, BetBright, Charlie Hall and Denman Chases and it's great to see the old boys given a chance to compete against each other.
Harry Topper has always had his own way of getting from one side of a fence to another, but on his best form he'd have been the pick of these and, after two runs following two years off, he should be spot-on now.
