PEDDLERS CROSS maintained his unbeaten record over fences, making it two from two at Bangor, with an authoritative success over Minella Class.

The bookies were impressed, with Paddy Power and Blue Square going 7-2 (from 9-2) for the Arkle, although Victor Chandler remained unchanged at 4-1.

OVERTURN became the first horse to add a winin Newcastle's big jump race to victory in the track's biggest Flat race when the Northumberland Plate winner of 2010 landed a huge plunge on course.

Overturn put himself in the reckoning for that race after this success, his seventh over hurdles, and he is now as short as 10-1 with Ladbrokes. The same firm go a best-priced 14-1 about Binocular, winner of the Champion Hurdle in 2010, regaining his crown at Cheltenham.

"All credit to the horse - the ground was bit dead for him today but he's won despite that, the big thing about him is his jumping. He never misses a beat and gets away from his hurdles so quickly. You'd struggle to ride a gamer horse than him."
