Williams dreams of Cheltenham

Nick Williams believes he made an error of judgment with Cornas at the start of the season after seeing the gelding made a winning start to his fencing career in the Clive Pavilion Beginners Chase at Ludlow.

Daryl Jacob’s mount travelled strongly throughout this two-mile contest and drew away in the straight to score by five lengths from Idarah, leaving Williams dreaming of Cheltenham glory.
