News of the rest of the action from Kempton Park where Victor Dartnall's long wait for a bumper winner came to an end.

Victor Dartnall ended his search for a bumper winner after Bolving struck at the first time of asking in the racinguk.com/anywhere Standard National Hunt Flat Race at Kempton.

Despite not saddling a winner in the sphere since the 2013-14 campaign, the Barnstaple handler, who sent out a one-two in this event back in 2010, saw the 20-1 shot clinch a three-length success and complete Scholfield's double.

Dartnall said: "That will stop the comments that I've not had a bumper winner for two years. He is a lovely horse, but I didn't know if he was ready for it.

"Nick Scholfield just said there is a bit of class there as he was not tired. I'd say it is doubtful he will run at Cheltenham as it's such a hard race on horses."

After rattling up a career first four-timer on his previous visit to the track jockey Nico de Boinville found himself back among the winners after steering the Nicky Henderson-trained Ericht (5-1) to a five-length triumph in the Watch Live Racing On betbright.com Handicap Chase.
