Son Of Soldier Of Fortune Draws Clear On Debut

The well-supported Howlingmadmurdock (5g Soldier Of Fortune - Bell Storm, by Glacial Storm) produced a smart debut performance to win Thursday’s bumper at Fontwell.

Sent off favourite under Rex Dingle, Anthony Honeyball’s charge chased the leaders and made smooth headway with four furlongs left to race. Pushed to lead a furlong later, he was ridden approaching the final furlong and drew clear to win by a comfortable five lengths.

Bred by the Beeches Stud and Grange Stud, Howlingmadmurdock provides an important update for his yearling brother by Idaho.
