Ridoto rules

FERGIE STRIKES GOLD AGAIN

- MELISSA JONES

IT WAS Fergie time at Cheltenham as II Ridoto and talented teen Freddie Gingell took charge in the Paddy Power Gold Cup.

The 10-1 chance mopped up another big race for Manchester United's all-time great and owner in an astonishing 24-hour period.

Sir Alex (below) was two-nil up on Friday when homebred Spirit Dancer retained the Bahrain International Trophy and exciting young horse Potters Charm starred at Prestbury Park.

Then L'Eau Du Sud routed his novice chase field in Gloucestershire, before Il Ridoto made it third time lucky in yesterday's main event.
