A Different Kind on another level to the rest at Catterick
Prolific McCain runner wins again.
A Different Kind is likely to have his sights raised on his next appearance after stretching his winning run to five at Catterick. Runner-up on his sole start in the Irish point-to-point field, the five-year-old had since completed a Sedgefield hat-trick before beating a subsequent dual winner in Green Book at Haydock last month. Donald McCain’s charge appeared to face a straightforward task in the EBF “National Hunt” Novices’ Hurdle in North Yorkshire and those who got involved at cramped odds of 1-5 will have had few concerns. Always travelling strongly in the hands of Brian Hughes, A Different Kind powered clear between the final two flights and had 11 lengths in hand at the line.A Different Kind makes it five from five for @donaldmccain and Brian Hughes @CatterickRaces pic.twitter.com/8WzNoUwkvo
