Despite jumping noticeably left, Wenyerreadyfreddie made all to win the Ascot opener; the Tindle Newspapers Novices' Chase.
An easy course and distance winner of a handicap earlier this month, he set the standard beforehand, having been heavily penalised for that Ascot success.
He fought off the late challenges of both Kildisart and Azzerti to land the spoils, for the returning Nico de Boinville, who rides Might Bite in the Betfair Chase at Haydock tomorrow.
