Just Your Type travelled from Gloucestershire to Yorkshire and won his second classic point-to-point of the season.
In January The Max Comley-trained 11-year-old landed the Lord Ashton of Hyde’s Cup at Cocklebarrow, and now he has followed up with victory in Yorkshire’s finest, the £1,000 Grimthorpe Gold Cup at Sheriff Hutton.
He carries the colours of Neil O’Hara.
