IT was interesting to compare Coleman’s low, rhythmic action with Danny Cook’s urgent upright style on Sue Smith’s Vintage Clouds in the last, the Better Value On The Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase.

In Trevor Hemmings’ familiar colours, Cook was not going to be denied after leading at the 13th, where Paul Nicholls’ Braqueur came down. Captain Redbeard, hampered there, recovered to join issue but Vintage Clouds found more on the run-in and looked like coming away until Takingrisks’ strong late run cut the deficit to half a length.
