Tizzard lands quick five-timer
Colin Tizzard celebrated a magical hour for his Dorset yard on Saturday afternoon with five winners at three different tracks.
Two of the winners were ridden by Tom O'Brien and the other three were singles, including one for the trainer's son Joe.
The combined odds of the fabulous five-timer totalled 3,379-1.
Grand Vision (5-1) got the ball rolling when collecting in the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle at Haydock at 3.55, before Ceepeegee (7-1) obliged in Wincanton's Bathwick Tyres Bridgwater Handicap Chase at 4.20.
It was back to Haydock as 100-30 chance Cannington Brook sauntered home in the Betfred 'Double Delight' Novices' Handicap Chase at 4.30.
Royal Guardsman (4-1) struck at Ascot 15 minutes later and could attempt to emulate Cue Card's Cheltenham Champion Bumper success after pulling seven lengths clear in the Atlantic Enterprises Standard Open NH Flat Race.
And to round off proceedings, Theatre Guide (9-4), appropriately under Joe Tizzard, landed the Bathwick Tyres Salisbury Novices' Hurdle at Wincanton at 4.50.
