Wincanton Trio

     Pachacuti runs at Wincanton today
The jumping action today comes from Wincanton where we head with three runners, Leicester and Market Rasen. While on the flat there is all-weather action at Chelmsford with an evening meeting. There is no racing in Ireland today. 

At Wincanton, Back Yourself is now a non runner so African Lady starts the day off for us at 1:35pm in the Novices' Handicap Hurdle over 3miles 1/2f and Jack Tudor riding. She was absolutely fine after falling last time out at Wincanton and has been a little disappointing, but she has showed some ability and she will appreciate the step up in trip here today. 

Pachacuti runs in the 2:35pm Handicap Chase over 3miles 1f with Jack Tudor in the saddle, he will have come on from his previous run being his first start back after a break and the trip today is more to his liking as he's won over course and distance here before. To end the day, we have Dindin running in the 3:10pm Handicap Chase over 3miles 2 1/2f with the inform Callum Pritchard riding he didn't quite jump that fluently last time out and took a bit of a back step from his run at Chepstow, the headgear has been taken off today, he does have plenty of ability so hopefully he can run a more encouraging race. 

Yesterday at Haydock, the introductory hurdle went the way of Dan Skelton's Royal Infantry as he won impressively by 8 1/2 lengths. He took a step forward from his Chepstow Maiden Hurdle success and the Skelton team are looking at the possibility of returning to Haydock for the Grade 2 Supreme Trial in January. James Owen continues the form of his stable with East Street rattling off a hat-trick in eight days. 

In the football Everton 4-0 Wolverhampton Wanders, Manchester City 3-0 Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United 3-3 Liverpool, Southampton 1-5 Chelsea, Arsenal 2-0 Man U, Aston Villa 3-1 Brentford. 

Did you hear about the guy who hurt his left side? 

He's all right now!

Happy Thursday!
