Magnifico had failed to complete on his previous three outings but the seven-year-old came good in The Farmers Inn At Higher West Hatch Handicap Hurdle at Taunton.

However, granted an easy time of it out in front, the 14-1 chance bowled along and drew further and further clear from the third-last to pass the post with 18 lengths in hand.
Shutts said: "I backed him today, but the money was on him properly last time when he was pulled up.
"They took him on in front that day but he has had it his own way today and he was clearly capable of winning the race.
"He was due to wear a tongue strap, but I couldn't get it on him properly."
Quinte Du Chatelet made the most of a depleted field to collect at the first time of asking in the St Patrick's Day Juvenile Novices' Hurdle.
Only four runners went to post but the quartet was quickly reduced to a duo as Arabellas Homer crashed out at the fourth flight, while the 4-9 favourite I Predict A Riot was pulled up shortly after.
That left Tom Scudamore clear to school round aboard the David Pipe-trained 3-1 chance, who scored by 24 lengths.
Pipe said: "We had a lot of luck, but it is great for his local owners Garth and Anne Brown as it is their first winner."
