WYE Valley trainer Venetia Williams was celebrating again at the weekend as Frero Banbou stormed to victory over three miles at Newcastle.

Fellow King's Caple mount Victtorino also finished with a flourish to nab third in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury on Saturday, following the previous weekend's second in a row triumph for stablemate Royale Pagaille in the Betfair Chase at Haydock.

Having ridden Martator to victory for Williams seven days earlier at Ascot, Ned Fox took up the running on Frero Banbou with almost a mile to go as Ben Pauling’s Bowtogreatness checked out, and the nine-year-old's slick jumping meant he was always going to be hard to catch.

However, favourite The Changing Man moved stylishly into contention for Brendan Powell and approaching the second-last looked to have all the momentum to win the £70,000 Rehearsal Premier Chase.

He got in a bit tight though, giving the advantage back to the Wye Valley mount (17-2).

And when The Changing Man also failed to ping the last, Fox was able to drive his horse out to win by a length and a quarter.

“It’s brilliant, I’m very fortunate to be in the position to ride nice horses on a Saturday for Venetia,” said Fox.

“He’s got a bit of scope to him in fairness, he ran over the National fences last time which helped him switching back to the normal ones, he’s a brilliant jumper.

“That was his first run over almost three miles so he had to prove his stamina today, too. He’s pretty versatile, all ground seems to come alike to him.

"It’s good ground today, but he’s won on heavy as well.

“That’s my first winner at the track so great to get another crossed off.”

Meanwhile, Charlie Deutsch on Victtorino found the Paul Nicholls-trained Kandoo in rampant form in the Coral Gold Cup, on the latter's first run for 232 days.

Harry Cobden on the lightly-raced grey came home a length and three-quarters clear of Broadway Boy, who gave it a good go from the front, with Victtorino overhauling French raider General En Chef after the final fence.
