Aston Rowant trainer Alan Hill reeled off a treble at the Kimblewick Hunt meeting at Kingston Blount, near Chinnor – with his 16-year-old son, Joe, landing a first double on two of the winners.

It formed part of an across-the-card four-timer for the trainer, who also sent out Description to win a ladies’ open at Penshurst, near Tonbridge, under Gina Andrews.

Fly Direct was first up for Hill in the confined at Kingston, with the winner upsetting better-fancied stablemate More Trouble and James Tudor.

Joe Hill held up the nine-year-old before producing him to challenge the odds-on favourite going to the last fence, and he stayed on well to complete a hat-trick by a length and a half.

“At the top of the hill with five to jump I thought if we finish third, we’ve done well – so to win was brilliant,” said Joe.

Despite putting up 2lbs overweight, Tudor was soon back in the winner’s enclosure aboard the Hill-trained Kay-andson, who made a successful debut in the open maiden for four to seven-year-olds with a two-lengths verdict over Mouse Back Brown.

Hill completed his treble with Ravethebrave in the Point-to-Point Owners’ And Riders’ Association Club veteran and novice riders’ race.

Joe Hill’s mount and fellow 16-year-old Page Fuller, on High Five, duelled over the last five fences, before Ravethebrave drew clear to win by six lengths.

Only three went to post for the Southern Grand National mixed open, and when Dead Eye Dick was pulled up at halfway, the Philip York-trained Nessa came home two and a half lengths clear of Ice Tea in the hands of Tom Cheeseman.

And Tom Ellis got a great tune out of Fred Hutsby’s Mister Tibbs to take the open maiden by five lengths from Shales Ay Jay.
