Kevin Hutton’s recent Betfred Select victory has taken him to within 13 points of Paul Young in the Trainers Championship, though the Romford trainer could extend that margin if he has a good night at Hove on Thursday.
Meanwhile Patrick Janssens could also take fifth place back from Charlie Lister if his Thursday finalists came up trumps.
The top six places appear to be sorted though with Graham Holland unlikely to significantly increase his total, predicting the year end top ten would seem a much greater challenge.
Champion trainer Mark Wallis is currently 12 open winners adrift of his ‘one a day’ target for the year.
