De Sousa turns up heat

-

Silvestre de Sousa turned up the heat on jockeys’ championsh­ip rival Jim Crowley as he hit a four-timer at Epsom.

The defending champion had seen Crowley take the lead in the Stobart - sponsored battle over the weekend, but hit back in spectacula­r fashion on the Surrey Downs.

Hurricane Rush, Ancient Astronaut, El Astronaute and Goodwood Zodiac were all beneficiar­ies as the Brazilian roared through the early stages of the card in tremendous style.

De Sousa sat out the fifth race, the Amateur Derby, which saw another winner in the career of Irish rider Jamie Codd as 3-1 favourite Hubertas came out on top.
