Tony McCoy consolidated his position as the leading jockey at Folkestone with a 46 to 1 treble at the Kent course yesterday. He took his tally at the track to 22 in the last five years with wins on Prince Dundee, Miners Dance and Zero Risk.

Prince Dundee, trained by Jim Neville, gained the upper hand over Pace Stalker after the last flight of the Levy Board Novices' Handicap Hurdle to score by two and a half lengths.

Miners Dance had failed to complete the course on four of his six attempts over fences but his jumping was a revelation in the Bet Direct Handicap Chase.

The gelding put up a sound display and after taking control at the ninth fence he stretched six lengths clear of Oneanthree quarters.
