Almighty Cristo

Winner 28 of 2025: CRISTO, trained by Richard Hannon and ridden by Sean Levey. ‘Each Way Extra At bet365 Handicap’ over 1m2f at Chelmsford.
Last time out, course and distance winner Cristo got off to a good start, with Sean settling him nicely into midfield. The front pair set an even pace, with approximately 6 lengths covering first to last in the eight runner field. Sean made an early move on our son of Havana Grey and started his challenge when turning for home. Cristo went clear inside the final furlong and galloped on resolutely to win by 1 ¾ lengths. A readily success by our fast improving chestnut, who showed a great turn of foot in the homestraight. Very well done to his owners.

Timeform rated his victory with a p93+: "Strong in the betting, improved again to follow up from last time and took his record to 2-2 over this C&D, value extra after having to come round the houses off the home turn and still finishing full of running; waited with, headway out wide entering straight, led over 1f out, asserted soon after, won readily; will continue to give a good account."
A very delighted Sean Levey spoke to our owners after the race: "Very well done everyone. You got to be absolutely delighted with that victory, he is improving with every run. Mentally, more so than anything. Very straightforward today, travelled around beautifully. Very much push button and he hit the line hard."
