| The eight-year-old has done little wrong in his two wins and, with Tony Dobbin on board, another strike looks on the cards. |
| Dobbin whinnied as if he thought the call had been long enough. |
| So Amelia gave Dobbin her little hand as she got out of the carriage, and rebuked him smilingly for not having taken any notice of her all night. |
| To the auctioneer's surprise the bids rise to 25 guineas, at which inflated level Dobbin secures the instrument. |
| Having won his first two novice chases, he was made favourite on his handicap debut at Ayr, but again Dobbin was left in the doldrums. |
