Venetia Williams has coached five winners from her last 13 runners and has really hit some great form. This is not surprising as she tends to do well before Christmas every year, especially when the ground is soft or heavy. As far as her horses are concerned, the form book will be out the window this time of year.
She tends to let them ripen after a break and she is especially good with her French players. All in all, she’s good at training lodging types that love a bit of flying mud. It’s great to see Charlie Deutsch doing so well after such a difficult time. Williams has been with him since his time in prison and that seems to have paid off for all involved.
It is very interesting that Williams only sent one person to run Southwell on Sunday.
12.45 Southwell
You might be wondering how the hell a horse with a form reading of 331 / P1P70- could be favorites for a handicap chase after 247 days off track. But as I mentioned before, the form will not appear in Williams’ range. When the barn is hot, it’s hot. The horse in question is Gemirande and Deutsch will rise.
Gemirande is a five-year-old France international who won the new hurdles for this pitch at Wetherby in November 2020. He’s had a very patchy track since then but Venetia has always done well with those his pursuers and the fact that this horse crossed the fence the first time. very interesting time. He also stepped up from afar and was running a leniency sign.
