Nick notches up 18 winners so far

FINDON trainer Nick Gifford '“ who got in a timely double at Fontwell Park before the weather closed in '“ is enjoying an excellent season with 18 winners and 39 horses in the frame to his credit.

The tally would certainly have risen further but for meetings being called of because of the bad weather.

Latin America, winning the National Hunt Flat race at 2-1, and Tullamore Dew following up at 9-2, both ridden by Jay Pemberton, rewarded local supporters at Fontwell Park by winning in style.

Closely related to winners in France, Latin America showed promise for the future, and Tullamore Dew, gaining his second win, did well enough to reinforce his main target of the season '“ the EBF Final at Sandown.

Nick currently has some interesting options for the Cheltenham Festival next month, where another of his runners with French connections, Pale Rider, holds three early entries.
