Blaze Of Hearts’ win caught punters cold as Ivory also saddled the well-handicapped jolly Kadrizzi.
He finished worse than Mourinho’s front line and as far as the yard was concerned the right horse collected.
Rae Guest makes the Mona Lisa look like a chatterbox, but he knows how to get one ready and notched up a double of his own here through Roman Spinner and the heavily punted Wallflower (100-30 to 13-8).
Martin Harley took no chances on Wallflower and was still sticks-up when eight wickets clear inside the final furlong.

It looked bad and he couldn’t complain when the stewards got the hump and gave him a couple of days unpaid leave for his troubles.
Nick Gifford has spent more time in the wilderness than Ray Mears but he’s flying now and had a nice little earner with Fairway Freddy (9-4 to 13-8) in a 2m handicap hurdle at Kempton on Monday.
The gelding’s jockey Rex Dingle might sound as if he should be an extra in Emmerdale, but he gave this one a lovely gung-ho ride and is cracking value for his 7lbs claim.
Paul Nicholls’ number one Harry Cobden had a proper mare on this card.
He fell asleep on Danny Kirwan in a match for the opener and let If You Say Run hang into the Silver Ring when she looked certain to win a valuable mares’ hurdle.
Happy Harry doesn’t make many mistakes but this wasn’t one for his scrapbook.
It was a bleak old day out in the rain at Lingfield on Tuesday but those jumping boys are made of tungsten and a few heavyweight gambles were landed.
Jeremy Scott’s Champagne Court (10-1 to 100-30) was bet like a good thing and duly bolted-up in the 2m novice hurdle.
SATURDAY SELECTION
SANTINI (12.45 Newbury) developed into a top-class novice hurdler last season and is built to be even more effective over fences.
Scott had a glint in his eye when talking about the horse and I reckon he could be a couple of notches above average.
Laura Mongan has been running against the wind since Harbour Law won the 2016 St Leger, but she paid for Christmas when Miss Yeats (5-1 to 15-8) landed some lumpy late bets in the 2m4f handicap chase.
Torpedo Tom Cannon fired this mare into just about every fence and is definitely a man to have on your side when the chips are down.
It's hats off to Archie Watson who became only the fourth Lambourn trainer to saddle 100 winners in a season when Time’s Past got his head in front at Southwell on Tuesday.
Bold Archie could win a race with a three-legged Shetland and is nailed-on to go right to the top of the tree.
