Gun puts hammer down for 100-1 shock

>>There was a boilover in the 7f handicap at Southwell when 100-1 outsider Hammer Gun ran out a comfortable winner after hitting 210 in running on Betfair. Derek Shaw's shock winner had been matched at a pre-race high of 300 and returned a whopping Betfair SP of 234.71.
>>Topmeup disappointed backers at a low of 1.07 when finishing only third in the opener. The 8-1 chance was thwarted by 9-2 shot Padleyourowncanoe, who had traded at a high of 14.
>>General Girling sprang 50-1 a surprise when landing the 2m1f handicap chase at Wincanton. The big outsider traded at a high of 95 and appeared aided by the fall of 9-2 Knight Ofthe Realm, who had traded at 1.51.
