Leafield trainer Mark Rimell emerged from a spell in the wilderness with two winners in the space of three days.

Rimell hadn’t visited the winner’s enclosure since last August until Sail With Sultana ended his barren run with victory at Chepstow last Tuesday.

The four-year-old filly showed a good attitude to open her account with a head verdict over Tijori in a two-mile handicap under 17-year-old apprentice Tom Marquand.

Rimell’s mother, Mary, who owns the 16-1 shot, explained that the daughter ZAK Jarvis took six wickets as Minster Lovell 2nd moved to second in OCA League Division 5 after a five-wicket win at home to West Witney.

Jarvis was the star, taking 6-24 as West were rolled over for 94, Minster reaching 95-5 in reply.

Charlbury 2nd lost by 74 runs at leaders Sunningwell.

Robert Hussey (83no) and Thomas Harris (54) took Sunningwell to 206-6, and despite 48 from Dean Warner-Carter, the visitors subsided to 132 all out.

In Division 6, Chipping Norton 2nd went top after a thrilling one-wicket win at home to Bampton.

The visitors were bowled out for 143, youngster Danny Molyneux taking 3-31.

Chippy edged in at 147-9, despite 6-43 from Russell King.

In Division 8, Witney Swifts 2nd hammered Chadlington 2nd by 158 runs.

Grant Madden hit 85 in the visitors’ 207 all out, before youngster Ed Priest took 5-13 as Chadlington were rolled over for just 49.

Ducklington eased to a six-wicket win at Combe.

Julian Chaundy’s 4-4 saw Ducklington skittled for 54, Combe replying with 58-4.

Kilkenny moved to second in Division 9 with an eight-wicket win at home to Dorchester 2nd.

Dorchester were all out for 108, before Tom Clapham (47) saw Kilkenny home at 111-2.

of Black Sam Bellamy had appreciated the galloping nature of the south Wales track.

Two days later, the Leafield handler struck again when Overlord got off the mark at Nottingham.

The strapping three-year-old only had to be shaken up by Barry McHugh to beat Lyrical by half a length in an extended mile handicap.

Rimell explained that the 5-2 favourite was only just starting to fill his frame, and he hoped that he would go on again.

Chastleton trainer John Gallagher’s belief that five furlongs and a good pace would suit Major Pusey at Goodwood proved spot-on as the colt broke his duck under Martin Lane.

The 8-1 chance finished well from off the pace to beat Blackasyourhat by a length.

Over the jumps, Midnight Shot followed up his Uttoxeter win for Charlie Longsdon’s Chipping Norton stables with an easy success at Southwell.

Sent off the 30-100 favourite, the fiveyear-old cruised home by 20 lengths with Richard Johnson on board.

Longsdon said: “He was odds-on, but won as he should have and can now go off for a good summer holiday.”

Meanwhile, Longsdon’s Hull Farm landlords, Christopher and Fran Marriott bagged a brace of South Midlands Area point-to-point awards thanks to the exploits of their mare, Dabinett Moon.

The seven-year-old’s four wins saw the Marriotts pick up the leading owners and leading mare trophies.
