Llancarfan’s Evan Williams and Bridgend’s John Flint saddled winners at Wincanton and Worcester (writes Brian Lee).
Williams saw his four-year-old Annsam land the maiden hurdle at Wincanton and dual purpose trainer John Flint took the handicap chase at Worcester with his nine-year-old Cillian’s Well.
Annsam, partnered by stable jockey Adam Wedge and a 5-1 chance, won by two-and-a-quarter lengths from the odds-on Nicky Henderson-trained BallyCaines.
