Mohanad won a thriller at Kempton yesterday, finally getting his much deserved first flat win. After a string of good runs and close seconds it was great to see him get his nose in front. 

This horse was bought with a hurdling career in mind, his last run was in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and his next is likely to be a handicap hurdle at Sandown. However we always new there was a flat win in him too!

Promising young jockey Harry Bentley claimed 5lb and gave the horse a fantastic ride, just getting up in the shadow of the post. It was the second leg of a treble for Harry and he is certainly a jockey to watch.

It couldn’t have been a more exciting finish with three horses separated by inches but Harry Bentley is riding with such confidence at the moment and MOHANAD just got his head in front where it mattered
