Charlie Deutsch celebrated the first Grade 1 success in early February after L’Homme Presse cruised to victory in the Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase at Sandown.
Deutsch said: ‘This means a huge amount as Grade One wins seemed a long way off. It can sometimes never happen for a jockey. We have a brilliant horse on our hands”.
Charlie then rounded off his weekend with Grade 3 success in the Heroes Handicap Hurdle with Green Book.
He would continue in his rich vein of form as he dictated matters just a week later to land another big Saturday winner for Venetia Williams. This time, the diminutive seven-year-old Funambule Sivola showed plenty of class to overcome a competitive field in the Grade 2 Game Spirit Chase.
