Hill adds to his tally
ALAN HILL continued his run of good form to win two races at High Easter, kicking off with a victory in the ladies’ open with 11-year-old Laurium under Immy Marshall (pictured). The horse has now won four races and finished runner-up from five starts.
“He came two me two years ago as an ex-Nicky Henderson horse because his owners wanted a younger prospect,” said Alan.
“Immy got a nice lead and he jumped and travelled well. When she pressed the button to make his attack for home, he picked up and won well. He’ll maybe run in another ladies’ race if the weather and ground are right.”
Alan’s second win came in the intermediate with sevenyear-old Normofthenorth, also under Immy.
“He surprised us in this race as his last run was a bit of a lazy display, so we tried a set of cheekpieces and he travelled better and jumped brilliantly,” said Alan. “He’s very active and likes the top of the ground.
“He went far and above our expectations so hopefully we can maintain and improve on his form.”
