Jennie Candlish's flying form continued as Fromheretoeternity completed an across-the-card double for her by a staggering combined margin of 44 lengths.

Skyjack Hijack notched up a fifth consecutive win by 26 lengths at Exeter before Fromheretoeternity also bolted up by 18 lengths under minimal effort from Sean Quinlan.

The seven-year-old stretched clear in the 2m mares' novice hurdle to follow up a low-grade handicap success at Worcester last month.

It raised the tally of the Staffordshire stable to six in the last 14 days, at an impressive strike-rate of 27 per cent, while the total of 14 winners this season, is equivalent to two thirds of Candlish's tally set last term.

Quinlan told Sky Sports Racing: "She felt a lot better on that ground compared to Worcester. When she hit the front she was lugging a bit left but it was very impressive from the last. When I gave her a squeeze she just took off. Fair play to Jennie and Alan [O'Keeffe, assistant], the horses are flying."

Turn of fortunes

Mark Walford saw his odds-on shot Just Call Me Lucy beaten by Fromheretoeternity, but was soon celebrating as Chasingouttheblues won the 2m4f maiden hurdle.

Under Jamie Hamilton, the five-year-old quickened clear to strike on just his second start under rules.
