British-trained runners filled the first five places as
Wilful came come in front in the William Hill County Handicap Hurdle at

In a busy field of 23, the seven-year-old led home Sticktotheplan, Joyeuse, Cracking Rhapsody and Sinnatra – all of whom are trained in Britain – to give the Jackdaws Castle stable a second winner of the week, after
Johnnywho in the Ultima Handicap on Tuesday.
