Valence Racing had a good day at Plumpton today with both their horses finishing in the frame. First Itoldyou finished third in a 3 mile 2 furlong chase, then Clonusker showed his first sign of real form by finishing second in a 2 mile handicap hurdle.
Itoldyou being unsaddled after finishing 3rd.
Ridden by Andrew Thornton, Itoldyou was held up at the rear for the first couple of circuits and then was moved up to challenge the front runners down the final hill. A mistake at the 4th last didn't help his cause but he managed to stay on up the hill for third.
In the final race of the day Clonusker, ridden by Gerard Tumelty, made all the running and had broken most of his rivals by the time they entered the home straight. One horse loomed alongside him here and he had to settle for second, but a very pleasing result nevertheless.
