Bookies wary of Spinner Champion bid
Leg Spinner was given a quote of just 33-1 for the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle after storming to victory on the Flat in the £2.5m totescoop6 Cesarewitch at Newmarket.
A winner of the Ascot Stakes when it was run at York two years ago, Tony Martin’s charge went off a 14-1 chance in the second leg of the autumn double only because his trainer had expressed fears about the cut in the ground.
