THE Moore family is immensely talented and, before Sire De Grugy’s heart-warming performance, Jamie’s brother Joshua completed a double on Flute Bowl and Ar Mad, the latter a surprise 14/1 winner of the Grade 1 Racing Post Henry VIII Novices’ Chase.

Always a prestigious and informative race, the Henry VIII supplied a very warm favourite in Nigel Twiston-Davies’ Bristol De Mai, yet to turn five, who was sent off at even money following an impressive round at Warwick.
