Hopes of a return to form for Jan Wellens are hinging on a step up in trip to the marathon distances therefore, Olly Murphy has decided to take him to Lingfield on Wednesday where he contests the 2 miles handicap at 3.00.
The well-bred son of Dutch Art is closely related to plethora of Group class performers, most notably Group 1 winner, Virtual. Unfortunately, things have not gone to plan so far for Jan Wellens since he travelled over the Irish Sea and walked into Warren Chase Stables, last summer.
Olly has now taken the decision to step him up in trip, with the hope that he will enjoy the slower tempo of the race, which will in turn bring out the ability that his star-studded breeding suggests that he has.
To give him every chance, rising star Callum Hutchinson has been booked to ride and his 7lb allowance could make all the difference. Callum is the son of former top class jump jockey, Wayne Hutchinson and is based with Andrew Balding who is famed for nurturing young talents. We are delighted to be able to use him while he is still able to claim the 7lb and fingers are crossed that Jan Wellens is able to provide him with one of many winners in a long and successful career.
