Wincanton Highlights

• 1:45 PM Race: In the limelight - Universal Secret, two-times Wincanton winner, including a second-place finish at this venue. His latest win in March of 2023, achieved with a 4lb lower handicap, suggests he's poised for another strong performance despite a recent lacklustre showing.
• 2:15 PM Race: Baby Shally claimed her first hurdles victory at Wincanton on her second-to-last start, narrowly defeating a formidable competitor. After finishing fifth with a penalty at Huntingdon in her most recent race, Anthony Honeyball's six-year-old mare looks set to improve this time.
• 2:45 PM Race: Dartmoor Pirate, another of Honeyball's contenders, made an impressive hurdles debut at Wincanton, winning comfortably. Following a second-place finish behind a promising horse at Huntingdon, he faces no rivals here, making him a strong contender for the win.
