A HALF-BROTHER to Grand National winner Many Clouds kicked off the family’s weekend of success with a victory at Fontwell.

My Silver Cloud is sired by Cloudlings, just like the horse that Sussex-based jockey Leighton Aspell guided to victory in the big one at Aintree on Saturday.

Twenty-four hours before the National, 6/4 favourite My Silver Cloud, ridden by Marc Goldstein and trained by Paddy Butler, won the bet365.com Handicap Chase.

My Silver Cloud’s win was the second leg of a quickfire double for Goldstein, who had opened the meeting with a win on 14/1 Money Talks in the bet365 Novices’ Hurdle - bringing success for Hampshire trainer Michael Madgwick.

My Silver Cloud was tipped on the Observer website on the morning of racing.
