Catlin in pole position for jocket title

Chris Catlin is in a far stronger position than Jamie Spencer in the battle to be all-weather champion jockey and pulled three clear of his rival with a sole success at Lingfield today.

The competition ends on March 27 but with Spencer set to be in Dubai in the lead-up to the World Cup in the final week, the Irishman will only have a few more days to re-establish an advantage.
