TRAINER Alan King and jockey Wayne Hutchinson teamed up for a double as race-goers at Fontwell enjoyed a beautifully-sunny afternoon of racing.

The pair had success in the Butlins conference and Events Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at the start of the seven-race card with 4/6 favourite American Ladie.

And they repeated the trick with Devil To Pay, which came in 5/2 favourite in the Mary Brosnan Handicap Hurdle.

They were among the favourites in the first five races who all came home the winner, with a joint favourite taking the sixth race.

There was a win for the McCain family 24 hours before their Grand National triumph with Ballabriggs. Their charge Alderley Rover took the honours in the Peter Boughton Memorial Novices’ Steeple Chase.
