TRAINER Gavin Cromwell continued his successful raids on Britain at the weekend, this time at Haydock Park where he won two of the day’s feature races.

Now Is The Hour won the Grade 2 Albert Bartlett Prestige Novices’ Hurdle after Yeah Man had captured the Grade 3 Virgin Bet Grand National Trial Chase, both in the hands of Sean Flanagan. The winners not only shared the common factor of being trained by Cromwell, but they are both Irish-bred seven-year-old sons of Westerner (Danehill). Their sire, now turned 25, stands at Castlehyde Stud.
