A thriller at Doncaster saw Annual Invictus just get the better of Forward Plan in the Great Yorkshire Chase while Ashroe Diamond dazzled in the Yorkshire Rose.<\/p>\n

There was a great finish in the Great Yorkshire Chase as Annual Invictus got the better of Forward Plan for Freddie Gordon and his father Chris Gordon.<\/p>\n

With two jumps to go it appeared that Annual Invictus was well in the clear jumping strongly under the 18-year-old rider.<\/p>\n

However, Forward Plan showed a dramatic turn of foot, closing towards the line but the former got the better of him by a nose.<\/p>\n

An incredible late onslaught by Ben Godfrey left the pair three-and-a-quarter-lengths clear of the rest of the field.<\/p>\n

After the race, the winning rider said: “That was amazing. My old man said to try to just pop out and go on your own. So I thought I’d go out there and do it.<\/p>\n

“When the other horse came to me, I was just hoping he had a bit left in the tank and I think he kept his head in front the whole time. As soon as he gets a bit of company he keeps going, it gives him a bit more encouragement.<\/p>\n

“It’s some day. It’s lovely to do it for my dad. I’ll thank him when I get home later, we’ll have a nice dinner together.”<\/p>\n

The favourite Welcome To Cartries<\/strong> was back in second with The Newest One<\/strong> in third, eleven-and-a-quarter lengths off the winner.<\/p>\n

Ashroe Diamond takes the Yorkshire Rose Mares’ Hurdle<\/h3>\n

Ashroe Diamond dominated the closing stages of the SKB Yorkshire Rose Mares’ Hurdle to get the better of stablemate Gala Marceau<\/strong> for Patrick and Willie Mullins.<\/p>\n

In the early stages, Stainsbury Girl had the lead with Ashroe Diamond sitting nicely behind her whilst Gala Marceau and Under Control <\/strong>were in the slipstream.<\/p>\n

From two out Ashroe Diamond began to pick up the pace and she would not be beaten, scoring by two-and-a-half lengths from the staying-on Under Control.<\/p>\n

Wodhooh still unbeaten<\/h3>\n

The Irish raider took the SBK Fillies’ Juvenile Hurdle at Doncaster as Gordon Elliott and Mark Walsh won gamely with Wodhooh.<\/p>\n

For the majority of the race, it was Max Of Stars<\/strong> who led for Brian Hughes and Olly Murphy, but it was the second to last where the issues arose as a poor jump at the second last sealed her fate, being knocked off her stride and allowing Wodhooh to reel her in.<\/p>\n

She jumped the last going away and despite efforts from Murphy’s hopeful, she kept on well and won by six-and-a-half lengths, remaining unbeaten in the process.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
