Bell strikes with double

Michael Bell completed a 47-1 double with Shining Cloud and Girl With The Wind at Nottingham yesterday to take his seasonal tally to 41 winners, only one short of his 1995 total.

"My horses have hit a rich vein of form. Long may it continue," said Bell, whose two winners, both partnered by stable jockey Michael Fenton, scored by an aggregate of 12 lengths.

Shining Cloud was backed from 12-1 to 7-1 and made all the running up the stands rail to win by six lengths.
