It has been a good week for Jimmy Wright who has moved up to third place in the Trainers Championship. Although almost 300 points behind leader Mark Wallis, the Scot will be as delighted with his impressive 42% strike rate. Given current figures, the top six will fancy their chances of occupying those slots – though not necessarily in that order – by the turn of the year.
