Josh Moore did a brilliant job of leading for start to finish on Storm Hill. After his first run at Newbury, where he was very keen thoughout the race, Nick Schofield advised to let him bowl along in front, he was dead right and the tactics worked well.
Josh jumped him off infront and and controlled the race on a much more relaxed Storm Hill.

Harry Cobden's First ride for us was a successful ones, he steers Small Bad Bob to get his head in front at Fontwell. Winning the Virgin Bet Handicap Hurdle, the biggest race on the card.
Harry had never ridden for us before but was pleased he came down to Fontwell for his only ride of the day. Bob was prominent and leading for most of the race until he met a gluey bit of ground at the bottom of the back straight where he was headed and dropped to around 6th coming into the home straight. Harry got after him and Bob responded and showed great resolve to rally and get up after the last. Small Bad Bob wins the Visit attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap Hurdle(Class 3) 2m1½f
Another great ride by Tom to bring home a winning performance by Small Bad Bob. Tom was up with the leaders from the stars and Bob’s slick jumping enabled him to maintain his position up the inner, as they came down the back straight and Small Bad Bob jumped the last over the back he was pretty much the only horse left on the bridal. Tom and Bob asserted from the second last to win by five lengths.

He made it a strong even pace to ensure it didnt turn into a sprint finish, he remained a staying race which played into Bally's strengths. It was a great front running ride by Nick and a great performance by Bally.
