Check out Harry 'Houdini' Skelton's fantastic escape act at Huntingdon

Harry Skelton could be labelled 'Harry Houdini' after his exploits in the saddle at Huntingdon on Thursday.

The jockey was riding his brother Dan's Anytime Will Do in the 2m novice hurdle when the 6-5 favourite landed awkwardly after jumping the last, throwing Skelton up the horse's neck and almost out of the front door.

Skelton clung on, however, but the mistake cost Anytime Will Do his chance and the pair finished an eased-down fifth, beaten 35 lengths. Kim Bailey's Hes No Trouble, ridden by David Bass, took full advantage of Anytime Will Do's mistake to cruise to an easy 14-length success.
