Master out to turn over a few elder statesmen

The Young Master will try to turn over a few elder statesmen when going for the hat-trick in the Badger Ales Trophy at Wincanton today.

At just five years old, the Neil Mulholland-trained gelding has been a revelation this autumn, winning both his starts at Worcester and Cheltenham in progressive fashion.

The Young Masterr has gone up 9lb for his latest success in an amateur riders’ handicap chase at the latter track, but he is at the right end of the weights.
