Talking Horses: Winters is coming to Cheltenham with a likeable 14-1 shot


Chatham Street Lad, known as a Cork specialist, has the talent to do well in Gloucestershire against the zippy Coole Cody

The County Cork trainer Michael Winters has yet to saddle a jumps winner in Britain but that may be about to change as he sends over the fascinating Chatham Street Lad (1.50) for a tilt at the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup. The horse is seen as a specialist at his local track, with four wins there, and Cork is very different to Cheltenham, but he had so much in hand when he scored there last month that it is hard to believe he will not get involved.
