THE Jeremy Maxwell-bred Boreham Bill sprung a surprise at Kempton last Saturday when landing the 20-runner Listed Ladbrokes Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle over two miles and five furlongs at odds of 66/1.

Trained by Emma Lavelle and ridden by Ben Jones, the nine-year-old Tikkanen gelding had finished third last time out at the same track in November but was recording his first success (and his fourth in total) since winning at Stratford in October 2019.
