>>Chase The Spud defied a high of 230 in running on Betfair when recording an 11-1 success in the Betfred Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter.

Fergal O'Brien's winner looked in trouble when outpaced on the final circuit, but rallied and made sustained headway to lead on the run-in. Runner-up Mysteree travelled well, but couldn't hold on after touching a low of 1.07.

>>Loves Destination (10-1) hit a high of 150 on her way to victory in the mares' handicap hurdle at Fontwell and that, coupled with Bugsie Malone's 7-4 victory at Kempton, took the form figures of Chris Gordon's runners in the last fortnight to 12101P11111011.
