Best start for Llewellyn

Fresh from his famous victory on Ollie Magern at Wetherby on Saturday, Carl Llewellyn was back in the winner’s circle on Best Profile following the opening race at Carlisle.

The Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained gelding was sent off the 6-5 favourite for the first division of the Racing UK Channel 432 Novices’ Hurdle but he had to dig deep on the extremely testing ground to justify the support.
