Recently Porterhouse has shown signs of a return to form and he pounced in the 1260m MR 65 Handicap at Borrowdale Park on Saturday, providing Bridget Stidolph and Fanie Chambers with the first of their two winners.

Owned by John Koumides and bred by Bosworth Farm Stud, the six-year-old Miesque’s Approval (USA) gelding has now won five races and been placed 17 times.

On Saturday, Amas Amat, Just A Jag and Temple Run finished behind him – winning margins, 0.50, 0.60 and 0.85 lengths.
