Watt Broderick benefited from a patient ride from Noel Fehily, and the last flight blunder from Impulsive American, to record his third win over hurdles at Ludlow today.

He has been in good form this autumn, picking up a pair of silver medals at Worcester and Warwick on his most recent outings.

The downside of those runs was a rise of 7lbs in the handicap, but he defied that penalty to win at Ludlow off 112.
