Trainer Form / Timeform / 17 December 2009 / Leave a comment Free £25 Bet View Market

Nick Williams has started the month in marvellous form with three winners and not one of his seven runners finishing out of the first three, the highlight so far being L'Aventure's return to form at Kelso in the Scottish Borders National. This hot streak comes at an opportune time, with stable star Diamond Harry set to try to lower the colours of World Hurdle winner Big Buck's this Saturday in the Long Walk at Ascot.

Chris Gordon is another handler who is making his mark this month, finding success over jumps and on the all-weather. Winning Show's success at Kempton last night took his tally to five winners from just nine runners in the last fortnight. King Edmund's successful chasing debut in the style of a useful novice will have come as a particular boost.

Nicky Henderson's powerhouse yard has continued its good form of late, sending out 11 winners from 32 runners over the past two weeks. Zaynar's promotion to the head of the Champion Hurdle market after his victory in the Relkeel has been the highest profile success, but the Seven Barrows trainer has also unleashed some potentially smart novices of late. He enters this weekend holding a particularly strong-looking hand in the Ladbroke at Ascot.
