Tom Scudamore completes 26/1 four-timer at Perth


Tom Scudamore completed a 26/1 four-timer at Perth on his only four rides at the Scottish track.

The jump jockey's red-letter day began when he drove home Cesar Et Rosalie (11/10) for Neil Mulholland in the Mackie's Sky To Scoop Novices' Hurdle.

He followed up on Urtheoneiwant (4/1) in the Mackie's Traditional - A Firm Favourite Novices' Handicap Chase for Irish trainer Gordon Elliott.

The last two legs of his foursome were on two Brian Ellison-trained odds-on shots - Ballyvic Boru (4/7) in the Action Glen Maiden Hurdle and Scottsdale (8/13) in the concluding bumper.

The feature Mackie's Family Fun Day Sundae Handicap Chase (For The Perth Silver Cup) saw Tangolan, sent off at 4/1, gaining a gutsy success in front of a bumper crowd of over 6,000.

Ridden by Paddy Brennan and trained in Gloucestershire by Fergal O'Brien, he led at the final fence before beating Muwalla by three quarters of a length in the 

Brennan said: “It was a very competitive race, as it should be for the prize money at stake, and this was a tremendous victory. Tangolan likes running here at Perth and he was on excellent form today. 

"It was a brilliant pot to win and he's a little legend; fast ground and a good pace are just what he wants. If every horse had his attitude, it would be an easier life!”

Solway Prince landed a bit of a touch (9/2 from 12/1) when making all the running in the R. L. Rattrays Limited Handicap Hurdle for Callum Bewley.

The winning jockey said: “He was in tremendous shape today here at Perth and that goes down to Lisa Harrison and her team. He was entitled to go well on his best form, and we decided to be really positive on him.”

Green Zone secured his fourth Perth win and sealed a double for Bewley and Harrison when he stormed home in the Edinburgh Gin Conditional Handicap Hurdle.

Next up in the racing calendar for the Scottish venue is the St Johnstone and Golf Perthshire Racedays on Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd August.
