Having secured the inaugural David Power Jockeys’ Cup title on Thursday, Harry Skelton had a quieter day on Friday, only picking up points with Melling Chase runner-up Protektorat.
Harry Cobden secured second spot with a first-race win on Caldwell Potter, while Impose Toi’s fourth in the following handicap meant Nico de Boinville was confirmed in third ahead of Sam Twiston-Davies.
Further down the leaderboard, good afternoons for Paul Townend and Mark Walsh meant they moved up the standings, with Townend finishing the competition in a tie for 10th with Brendan Powell. Walsh was 14th.
Jonjo O’Neill‘s fourth-placed finish on Mister Meggit in the final race of the competition – which came after an earlier win for Wellington Arch in the handicap hurdle – ensured that he leap-frogged both Ben Jones and Charlie Deutsch into seventh position.
The £25,000 prize for leading conditional went to Dylan Johnston after Patrick Wadge was unable to bridge the gap. Wadge was eventually third behind Caoilin Quinn.
