Jamie Richards has copped the two extremes of the barrier draw for Wednesday night’s Happy Valley fixture but he was relieved to see Seasons Wit come out unscathed with the inside gate for the Class Three St George’s Challenge Cup (1,000m).
His speedster has relished the drop back to the minimum distance in his past two starts after plying his trade over further for most of this campaign.
All four of his wins have come over Wednesday’s course and distance and he returned to form with a bang when second from a wide gate two starts ago.
He followed that up with a first win since October 2023 when charging home in the Class Three Choi Wan Handicap (1,000m) last month and he has gone up 7lb in the ratings as a result.
