Edredon Bleu, the star of Henrietta Knight's West Lockinge stables near Wantage, produced a brilliant front-running display to win the Victor Chandler Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon on Saturday for the third year running.

Jumping fast and accurately in the hands of Uffington-based jockey Jim Culloty, the eight-year-old gelding ran his rivals ragged in the Grade 2 event.

The Queen Mother Champion Chase hero crossed the line five lengths to the good of odds-on favourite Fadalko with The Outback Way nine lengths back in third.

Punters allowed Edredon Bleu, who had never previously won on his seasonal debut, to go off a 100-30 chance.

But Knight explained that he had done plenty of work. She said: "I knew we wanted to win this a third time and everything was geared to this race."

Knight is undecided where Edredon Bleu will run next, but she is against having a third crack at the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown in two weeks' time.

Edredon Bleu completed a double for Knight and Culloty, who had been on the mark earlier with Chalmers Place in the two and a half mile novices'chase.

However, the six-year-old was a lucky winner as Redemption, from Paul Webber's Cropredy yard near Banbury, was five lengths clear when crumpling on landing at the second last.

**Compton Bolter, trained by Gerard Butler at Blewbury, romped home by five lengths under Frankie Dettori in the Listed Churchill Stakes at Lingfield on Saturday.
