Alex Hales bounces back from Boxing Day disappointment with double

Alex Hales recorded an across-the-card double on Wednesday.

Alex Hales was disappointed with Millers Bank's performance in the King George. Happy And Fine won the 2m3½f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen and his trainer was also among the winners at Leicester. Hale hopes Happy and Fine will progress further with time and the application of cheekpieces.

Warren Greatrex has won two races today. Greatrex is looking forward to the New Year's Day at Cheltenham. You can win two Club Enclosure tickets for the Tuesday at the Chelenham Festival 2023 by downloading the new app.
