Trainer Harry Fry has had a couple of notable winners in the first two days of 2014.
Mendip Express (7/1) was a ready winner of the Foundation Developments Ltd Handicap Chase (3m 2f 110y) in difficult conditions at Cheltenham on New Year’s Day.
The King’s Theatre gelding now has three wins from four runs and has been climbing the classes in the quality of races he has contested.
At Huntingdon on Thursday (2 January) Bitofapuzzle (5/2) led for every yard in the Listed mares’ NH Flat Race (2m 110y) and barely saw a rival in the final furlongs.
That was the second NH Flat race she has won from the front and in strong galloping fashion.
