    Winning jockey Harry Skelton, riding Mr Hope Street, speaking to ITV Racing: "He's won like a fresh horse. It's a brilliant bit of training. He has had niggly issues throughout the year so we couldn't get many runs into him."

    Mr Hope Street wins by a nose!

    Excellent ending to that one, Mr Hope Street kicked into gear going down the street.

    Lookaway was with him every step of the way and from just before the last fence to the finish, it was only ever one of those two winning it.

    Mr Hope Street took that last fence with a powerful leap and that momentum did just enough to give him the advantage and another winner for Harry and Dan Skelton.

    Josh The Boss and Lookaway are its next challengers, but this is a longer race so plenty of time for movement from the chasing pack.

    Glengouly is among the early leaders and is a good length clear of the chasing pack.

    The good news is we are ready to get going following In Love's brief re-saddling.

    The bad news is we have another false start...

    And while we have a re-saddling for In Love ahead of this one starting, the odds have changed in Lookaway's favour.

    He now goes off as the favourite, with Mr Hope Street now second-favourite.

    With those five non-runners, we're cut to a 13 horse field for this William Hill Handicap Chase.

    Mr Hope Street will go off as favourite, but with Lookaway and Brave Fortune both in close proximity.

    Hopefully, we get a straightforward start to this one.
