33 great pictures - plus video - from National Spirit Hurdle day at Fontwell Park

The 1-2 favourite – ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies for the yard run by brother Willy and father Nigel – came home ahead of two past winners of the £80,000 race, Brewin’upastorm and Botox Has, who were priced at 18-1 and 11-1 respectively.

It was one six races on a card that had to have its chases taken out and all races run on the hurdle course – the track having had 295mm of rain in the seven weeks of 2026 so far.
