PLAY SMARTER

OUTLAW PETER got firmly back on track when runner-up at Musselburgh last month and this looks a good opportunity for him to register a third win of the season. Wideeyedandlegless shaped promisingly in a race that’s worked out well at Chepstow back in October and is a likely improver.

PLAY SMARTER

French-recruit TOOTHLESS was most impressive when making a winning debut for this yard at Fakenham on New Year’s Day and he can quickly resume winning ways having scoped dirty at Musselburgh. Marley Head showed fair ability on the level for a jumping yard so is selected for the forecast.

TODAY’S RACE SPONSOR RICHARD LINLEY

WINCANTON RACECOURSE WOULD LIKE TO THANK RICHARD LINLEY FOR HIS YEARS

Richard Linley retired from riding in 1987 and has since overseen some fundamental changes in British Horseracing given his role of Senior Inspector of Courses, including the outlaw of gorse in hurdles, the introduction of One Fit Padded Hurdles, redevelopments of weighing room standards, behind closed doors racing and Orange to White obstacles more recently

Richard, who oversaw the racecourse inspectorate department for the sports regulator is concluding his final jumps season before deserved retirement. Wincanton and Exeter Racecourses would like to pay Richard their huge gratitude to the passionate guidance he has offered, first-rate advice about how to raise standards and the many valuable recommendations for track, fences and stables over a number of years. Thank you, Richard.

PLAY

DOYANNIE has been going the right way since joining Anthony Honeyball, looking value for at least double the final winning margin when scoring at Plumpton on Monday. She can follow up for her in-form yard if turned out again quickly, with School For Scandal the one who can give her most to think about. Dindin is the pick of the remainder

DECLARED RUNNERS 8 2022: SABRINA (IRE) 7 11 2 Harry Cobden 13-2 (Paul Nicholls) 11 ran

Tongue Strap worn by No 1, 2, 4, 8. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 3.

PLAY SMARTER

Cases can be made for a few of these but HARDY BOY fared much better than previously this season sporting first-time cheekpieces when going down by just a short head at Kempton last month, so provided the headgear is as equally as effective on this occasion, he’s fancied to go a place better Astigar has been given a chance by the assessor, so he’s feared most, ahead of handicap debutant Sandalwood.

DICK AND SUE WOODHOUSE

Both Dick and Sue Woodhouse were born and lived their whole lives in Dorset. Dick went intofarming and Sue wasa farmer’s daughter.Dick marrying an already talented leading lady Point-to-Point Rider put in placeaformidable team.

Their lives centred on hunting and racing horses, being owners, riders, trainers, lorry drivers, grooms and breeders as well as Stewarding at manyPoint-to-Points and also hereatWincanton. Having said that, the usual result wasDick doing mostofthe riding and Sue all the training!

They had manysuccessful horses but twostand out. Woodside Terrace, purchased at Ascot Sales for360gns, went on to win the Cheltenham Foxhunters in 1965, as a 100/1 outsider and Dick’sfirstride under rules. Then Highworth arrived, to be a multiple Point-to-Point winner and successful regularly in Hunter Chases hereat Wincanton. He also wastowin the Cheltenham Foxhunters, in 1970, and went on the next year to run in the Grand National –fulfilling Dick’sgreatestambition.

Sadly Dick died in 1983 in his early fifties from cancer but Sue carried on regularly Stewarding both hereand at Taunton. She continued to breed aline of highly successful Point-to-Pointers, the mostwell-known and prolific being Hops And Pops, who provided Robert Alner with some of his early successes as atrainer.Sue retired in 2003and wasduly presented with the Wessex Area Point-to-Point Awardfor lifetime achievement.

Sue sadly passed away in 2008 but this Hunter Chase continues to be run annually in Dick and Sue's memory

If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital
