JOCKEY James Tudor took the Golden Valley Hunt point- to-point meeting at Bredwar-dine by storm when he scored a treble at the track and took his seasonal success total to 26 winners.

The 23-year-old, currently lying in second place in the jockeys championship, struck in all divisions of the Maiden race with victories on Devils Teardrop, Giveusawave and Make It Plain to increase the pressure on title-holder Rich-ard Burton who has 34 wins.

The Welsh Border Counties Area Club Confined Champion-ship saw Springbrook Girl sent off favourite and, despite a brave front-running attempt by Lombards Lass, the favour-ite swept into the lead after jumping the third last fence.

Ther winner had to kept up to his work by rider Claire Allen, however, to win by two and half lengths.

Trainer Andy Hobbs confirmed: "We had promised Claire a ride earlier in the season if the ladies title race was tight and it is so wer're glad to help".

Allen came in for the ride after original rider for East-nor-based jockey Julian Prit-chard who was taken to Here-ford County hospital with a suspected broken leg after a fall in the Restricted race.

First replacement Adrian Wintle had to pass up the mount because the delay in racing would have prevdented him riding in a hHunter chase at Uttoxeter later in the evening.

The Ladies Open fell to Fleur De Nikos ridden by Jenny Carr. The partnership, despite challenges early on in the race, stayed on resolutely to score by three lengths from Why Connie.

The winner is a previous hurdle winner in France.

Despite all the efforts of jockey Adrian Wintle, Eury-alus was just held by half-a- length by Corkan in the seven-runner race.
