Default knowing his job

In the 3 mile handicap chase at Ascot today. Ollie Magern unbalanced and lost his rider on landing at the third fence, but that didn't bother him. He raced along in second, tracking the leader and jumping nicely, interfering with no one. See You Sometime put up a tour-de-force on the lead, jumping splendidly, and buried the rest of the field , but Ollie never let him get away, finishing couple of lengths behind. An 8yo with 31 starts, Ollie certainly knows what his job is.
