HARRY Cobden reached 100 winners in a season for the first time on Saintemilion at Exeter.
In his first campaign as Paul Nicholls’ stable jockey, Cobden posted his maiden century of winners as he and the 10-time champion trainer’s Saintemilion got the better of a protracted duel with 2/1 favourite Diable De Sivola in the GG Fast Results Chase.

Cobden’s hard-earned victory took him to his 100 in a season so far headlined by memorable Grade 1 successes for Nicholls aboard Clan Des Obeaux and Cyrname, in the King George VI Chase and the Ascot Chase respectively.
He needed to be at his best too on 4/1 shot Saintemilion, leading until being overhauled by Diable De Sivola on the run to the last but battling back and producing an especially good final leap to seal the two-mile-three-furlong contest.
