Yvonne Gaskin’s National Sprint finalist remains two wins clear of Droopys Perfect, though that deficit could be reduced at Hove tonight and then. . . .
The Cahill and Janssen kennels dominate the top of the table, a particularly impressive feat for the veteran Bockos Alfie who has won the 85th, 86th and 87th races of his career.
