Wendigo warms up for Chelton with an easy Wetherby – Irvine Times victory

A double winner in the armor before breaking his duck over obstacles in Ludlow in November, the six -year -old was last seen to hold an excellent race in defeat when he fills the runner -up behind the new lion in the obstacle of the “News” in Newbury over Christmas.

By virtue of this form, Jamie Snowden’s charge was unobstructed 1-11 favorite to return to the winning path in West Yorkshire-and those who took the narrow chances will have little concern about the duration of WetherbyRacing.co. Obstacle to the Novices of the United Kingdom.

Sent straight to a leading part of Gavin Sheyon, Wendigo had most of his rivals in difficulty to return to home, and he easily expanded clearly in the right, with seven and a half length of the winning margin.

“It’s always a relief when you are 1-11 shot or whatever it is. We didn’t learn much today, but he’s a beautiful horse and it’s a job done, “Snowden said.

“He had a difficult race at The Chalow, so it was a case to try to get his confidence out of what we hope to be an easy victory on the way to Chelton.”

Now Snowden will prepare the great contender for Albert Bartlet in Chelton, for which he is a 20-1 shot with Bet365.

“From now on, he will not have much confidence, intensifying easier competitions than this, so it was about building his confidence, ready for the big day in March,” the coach added.

“The step up to three miles and a quick race will suit him. It will be more appropriate by coming from the tempo. “
