HEREFORDSHIRE horse trainer Ed de Giles is enjoying a rich vein of form with five winners in the last fortnight.
De Giles, who is based at Lilly Hall Farm in Little Marcle, picked up successes on the flat at Lingfield and Windsor to add to a stunning treble at Bath.
Quinta Feira (9-2), Zugzwang (7-4) and Akavit (5-2) were all ridden to victory at the Somerset track by David Probert with the latter two as favourites.
Croquembouche (4-1), ridden by Frederik Tylicki, won at Windsor and the same jockey brought Go Nani Go (4-1) home at Lingfield to cap a fine spell for the De Giles stable.
There was also a third place for Smidgen (7-2), again ridden by jockey Tylicki, at Windsor.
Previous winners in April were Shingle (11-4) at Wolverhampton and Akavit (11-4) at Kempton.
