GOSHEN REIGNITED Champion Hurdle claims with an impressive victory in the Betway Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton today.
Out of luck after falling at the final flight with the Triumph Hurdle at his mercy 12 months ago, Gary Moore’s five-year-old blew the opposition away with a devastating display as he returned to his best form of last season.
THE Classic Handicap Chase (3.00) at Warwick is the big betting race of the weekend, but with the rescheduled Welsh National run so close to this staying event the entry isn’t as strong as usual with only a maximum of 13 set to got to post.
The market is headed by the Alan King-trained NOTACHANCE (nap) and with the stable in such sparkling form it is hard to see beyond the seven-year-old.

I had an early dart at the ante-post column this week - read my thoughts on Barbados Buck s chances in the Albert Bartlett here - and maybe just as well, as this is the lowest-profile weekend I can remember this season.

CNN went absolutely metaphor-mad on Monday morning in its trashing of President Trump s handling of the Covid-relief package. During the six-am hour of
New Day, Toluse Olorunnipa of the
Washington Post kicked off the metaphor-palooza by describing a hostage negotiation, where
President Trump wants to be both the kidnapper, and the hero who comes in to save the hostage.
Co-host Alisyn Camerota loved that: such a great point:
the arsonist putting out the fire.
It went from there, including Camerota gloatingly quoting from the
New York Post front-page editorial in which the paper called on Trump to give up on the cheering for an undemocratic coup and focus on his presidential duties: You will be remembered as
