Andrew Balding continued his good run in the big Saturday handicaps as his Plage De Havre (5/1) sauntered clear in the bet365 Old Newton Cup at Haydock.

Fresh on the heels of his Northumberland Plate success last weekend, Balding landed the £77,000 first prize here with this son of Le Havre who was having just his third start on grass.

Proven over further, he travelled smoothly into the contest on the outside of the main group under PJ McDonald who pushed his mount out for a comfortable four-length success.

Paddy The Squire stayed on best for a remote second, with Night Breeze third and Sportingsilvermine fourth.
