Delighted that Spirit Ridge won the ‘Berber Leather Novice Stakes’ at Catterick under Tom Eaves. On only his second start, he jumped well and made the running for a furlong, before tracking the favourite Loveisili until two furlongs out when he regained the advantage and kept on well to win nicely with a bit in hand for his owner Prince Khalid Abdullah. Well done to Kevin Clarke and Neal Tucker who made the five hour trip!
