Son Of Soldier Of Fortune Not For Catching

Sergeant Wilson (5g Soldier Of Fortune - In A Rush, by Hernando) made all to justify favouritism in Thursday’s maiden hurdle at Fakenham.

Nigel Twiston-Davies’ charge won a bumper impressively last season and returned to placed twice over hurdles in November. Ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies on Thursday, they bay was four lengths clear at the second last and kept on well to score by six and a half lengths.

Bred by Seosamh Murphy, the son of Soldier Of Fortune was bought by Simon Munir and Isaac Souede after his taking debut.
