Kempton report:Alan King capped a magical afternoon by sending out Voy Por Ustedes to capture the Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton, just 25 minutes after bagging the Welsh National with Halcon Genelardais.
Last year's Arkle winner was a warm order for the Stan James-sponsored contest, having chased home Kauto Star in the Tingle Creek earlier this month, and was returned the 4 to 6 favourite.
Robert Thornton, riding with a broken collar bone picked up at Exeter last week, was left in front on the five-year-old when Armaturk unseated Sam Thomas at the third fence.
The loose horse continued to lead but jumped out to his left, a move which the market leader copied for much of the race.
But his constant moves away from the rail did not cost him any ground, and after being harried by Foreman rounding the turn for home he quickened in good style over the last two fences to score by five lengths.
Oneway flashed home to snatch the runner-up spot and relegate French raider Foreman to third.
Totesport cut Voy Por Ustedes into 11 to 4 favouritism for the Queen Mother Champion Chase, while William Hill went 5 to 2 and VC Bet quote him at 7 to 2 alongside last season's winner Newmill.
Jack The Giant landed a hat-trick of wins over fences and entered the Arkle picture with his victory in the Grade Two Stan James Wayward Lad Novices' Chase.
Thomas committed off the turn on 11 to 8 favourite Twist Magic, but the Nicky Henderson-trained Jack The Giant was staying on all the time and joined the market leader when he made a hash of the second-last.
The Tom Doyle-ridden 7 to 1 shot then found more on the run-in and kept on for a length and a quarter victory to earn a 14 to 1 quote (from 25s) with VC Bet for the Arkle.
Poquelin staked his JCB Triumph Hurdle claim when lowering the colours of Liberate in the stanscasino.co.uk Juvenile Novices' Hurdle.
Although beaten on his jumping debut for Paul Nicholls in October, the 10 to 1 shot put up a much-improved effort under Thomas to lead at the second-last and score by a length and a half from the 6 to 4 favourite.
The remainder of the afternoon belonged to Tony McCoy, who was in cracking form and landed a 61 to 1 treble aboard Refinement, Alderburn and Princelet.
The first needed the champion to be at his strongest in a mares' Handicap Hurdle as he drove the Jonjo O'Neill-trained 9 to 2 shot home by a length from Fountain Crumble.
He completed a brace as Henry Daly's Alderburn (4 to 1 joint-favourite) ran out a length winner of the stanspoker.co.uk Handicap Chase.
McCoy got the hat-trick up in the closing stanjames.com Handicap Hurdle when the one-eyed Princelet obliged as the 5 to 4 favourite, beating Orcadian by three-quarters of a length.
