Tom Scudamore is celebrating his second win in the Sky Bet Jump Jockeys Nunthorpe, over the famous 5 furlong sprint track at York.

It's a big win for the trainer and jockey combination for the second day running- this time Scudamore punched the air in delight in a race all his weighing room colleagues relish.
