Martin Harley on the double again at Chelmsford

Martin Harley’s brilliant season in the saddle continued on the all-weather track at Chelmsford last night as he recorded yet another double with his two rides.

In the 7-15pm Stay at Channels Novice Stakes Martin’s mount Jazirat, the 11/10 favourite made all the running to won impressively for trainer Charlie Appleby.

And he followed that up with victory an hour later, again for Appleby, on 4/6 favourite Broderie in the Two of the Three Fillies Novice Stakes, taking the lead over a furlong out and holding off the challenge of the Marco Botti-trained Heeyaam 11/4 to take the win.

That’s five wins in his last eleven rides and 24 in total in what’s been an outstanding 2018 so far for the Trentagh man.
