Reve de Sivola (13/2) battled to victory for a third time in the JLT Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday, defeating Paul Nicholls' Zarkandar (4/6f) in the process.
Our leading stable picked up 125 points in the race and has leapt inside the top 650 stables, which is our best performance to date in any of the fantasy racing games.
But it could all change - for the better or worse - in the busy Christmas and New Year racing programme. December still has the King George VI Chase (Kempton Park) on Boxing Day and the Coral Welsh National (Chepstow) the day after to come. Only then can changes be made to our stables to prepare them for the busy January programme which starts at Sandown Park on 3 January 2015 with the HBLB Handicap Chase.
Let's hope we haven't peaked too soon - the Grand National is a long way off!
