The 3-y-o gelding, Monsieur Jourdain, followed his Newcastle success with a win in the two mile one furlong TSG Novices' Hurdle at Sedgefield on the 24th November. Ridden by Dougie Costello, Monsieur Jourdain made virtually all, but he had to be kept going up the hill from the final flight to hold off the staying-on Gwyre.

Gwyre followed Monsieur Jourdain home to make it a first and second for the yard. The 3-y-o Mull of Kintyre filly was given a strong ride by Richard McGrath and stayed on strongly in the closing stages to claim second place at 100/1.
