The sun shone and temperatures were well above average for late February as Fontwell Park welcomed a good-sized crowd for the National Spirit Hurdle and a great supporting card.
Claire Hogben, Fontwell's commercial manager, said: "We couldn’t have hoped for a better day to host the 54th running of the National Spirit Hurdle, with glorious sunshine and a fantastic line-up of runners attracting more than 2000 racegoers to our flagship fixture.
