Jody Sole helps Paul Nicholls with a local double

The six-year-old justified even-money favoritism under Sole, who won the race for Nicholls on Southfield Torr in 2019 and last year on Fame And Fun. “It’s really nice to be part of the team, I’ve ridden for Paul for a long time now and long may it continue,” Sole told Racing TV. “It’s a brilliant thing for people to realize that the services still offer equestrianism as part and parcel of being a soldier. It’s the last one of the season, so it’s great to have ten riders out there.”

Freddie Gingell had steered Paddy De Pole to his first success under rules at Plumpton a week earlier, and the 18-year-old conditional needs just one more winner to ride out his 5lb claim after helping Nicholls complete a double.
