CHRIS GORDON found the missing piece to the Betfair Hurdle puzzle with 9-1 shot Aucunrisque.
The trainer pulled a shrewd move to switch the novice chaser back over the smaller obstacles and was rewarded with a gutsy triumph.
And Gordon’s Annual Invictus 6-1), fourth in the 2021 renewal of the big handicap, boosted the Newbuty gains to a 69-1 double.
Both horses led from pillar to post for the in-form Hampshire stable.
After several near misses in recent ears, Gordon was chuffed with Aucun Risques length success from Irish raider and 3-1 favourite Filey Bay.
