Soldier Of Fortune Newcomer Proves A Class Apart

Sergeant Wilson (4g Soldier Of Fortune - In A Rush, by Hernando) could hardly have been more impressive when drawing clear in Thursday’s bumper at Taunton.

The Nigel Twiston-Davies owned and trained newcomer was positioned in midfield by Eddie Edge and began to make headway from four furlongs out. Pushed to lead from two furlongs out, he soon went clear and was ridden out to score by all of 17 lengths.

Bred by Seosamh Murphy, the exciting prospect is a half-brother to two winners by Milan.
