Winds braced for Triumph storm

WESTLIN’ Winds is on course for a crack at the JCB Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham on Friday week.

The Montjeu colt failed to cut much ice in four starts on the level but won his first two outings over timber with the minimum of fuss.

He ran a fine race to finish just over two lengths behind one-time Triumph favourite Mille Chief, who misses the Cheltenham due to injury, at Kempton last time.
