A review of the rest of the action from Sandown Park |
Chilworth Icon ended a losing run stretching back more than two years in the National Youth Music Theatre Charity Handicap at Sandown.
The last time Mick Channon's 20-1 chance had struck was in an Italian Group Three as a juvenile, and he had also picked up the Woodcote Stakes at the Derby meeting.
Sam Hitchcott was luckier than many in a typically messy event down the five-furlong chute, sneaking up the inside and coming two and a half lengths clear.
The trainer's son and assistant, Michael, said: "He was very useful at two, but struggled from a high mark at three. He just needed everything to fall right for him."
