Dave made it back to back wins at Southwell now the penny has dropped.  At no point did he make Jimmy’s job easy, needing pushing all the way….. apart from the last couple of strides at the line!

BROTHER DAVE finally came good in a classified heat here last time, sweeping through from the back of the field, and he repeated the trick on his return to handicap company. He was outpaced early on but finished strongly along the stands’ rail, and while in this form he may well land the hat-trick.”
