As we plough through month four – the Trainers Chamionship field is starting to spread, with Mark Wallis’ prospects looking akin to Ruby’s Rascal hitting the front after two bends.

It is proving a best ever year for Matt Dartnall who has the favourite in next weekend’s Betfred Gymcrack.

Not only is he up to third place, he is knocking out the percentages in a manner usually reserved for Hayley Keightley and Liz McNair, who are performing as usual, along with Towcester’s in-form, Hazel Kemp.

Scottish Derby winning handler Pat Rosney – so often a top six finisher – makes his first appearance on the table in 2018.
