Rose Dobbin enjoys 'amazing' afternoon as she lands a double for her parents

Rose Dobbin hailed it an "amazing" day as she landed a double with Fete Champetre and Do Not Disturb, who were running in the colours of her parents.

"They have put so much into this sport and invested heavily over the years, it is amazing for me to have their support," said Dobbin, whose father Duncan recently retired as a director at Kelso. "They really deserve these wins. They like nothing better than to have winners at Kelso."

Fete Champetre took the opening 2m handicap hurdle and the double was completed 35 minutes later when Do Not Disturb notched a fourth course success in the novice handicap chase.

Dobbin said: "We were planning to go straight over fences with Fete Champetre, but because of the dry weather we haven't schooled him. I spotted this as a lovely first race for him. He's a bit of a machine at home and hopefully he's got a big future."

Of Do Not Disturb, she said: "I would definitely think about the Borders National for him if the ground isn't too soft. Then who knows? You could even think about the Scottish Grand National."

Nuts makes it three

Nuts Well, who turns 11 in the new year, showed no signs of slowing down when landing the Simply Ned Handicap Chase on his reappearance for a record third time, eclipsing the achievement of the retired chaser who the race is named after. He will now be aimed at repeating last year's victory in the Old Roan Chase at Aintree in three weeks' time.
