Comeonginger put in an exemplary round of jumping to record a pillar-to-post victory in the BetBright Risk Free Bet Handicap Chase at Kempton last Saturday

The 100-30 favourite returned from an 85 day break to get back to winning ways under Richard Johnson in the two and a half mile contest.

Although getting tired late on the Chris Gordon-trained eight-year-old, whose last victory came over the same course and distance in November, stayed on to score by a driven out six lengths.

Gordon said: "His jumping was smashing.

"He is not really a winter ground horse that is why he has missed the last six weeks. I thought it would be better ground at the start of the week so he had every right to get tired on that ground. He has been very brave."

While last year's winner of the race Present View went on to score at the Cheltenham Festival, Gordon will not be sending this year's winner to the showpiece meeting.

Gordon said: "I think I will just keep him low profile for now to keep building his confidence.

"The way he jumps I would love to think he may be a Topham horse next year."
