Lily Pinchin

Andrews, Pinchin and Frost all joint leaders-with several men of course- but all riding well.

Frost shot herself in the foot, now being shunned by most trainers , shame as she is good apart from she still allows horses to drift going into fences and in a finish trying to intimidate rivals..which is what happened and infuriated Dunne when she caused his horse to fall. Pinchin  is very good now.

Why do you say she is being shunned by most trainers? In the past 14 days she has ridden for Nicholls, Wadham, King, Gordon, Mitchell, Edmunds, Roberts and Best.

She has had 30% less rides this year, averages one ride per day. King has cut back drastically on using her, as has Nicholls, until Cobden missed a day or two.Only really Wadham using her regularly.

Neil King has cut back drastically full stop. Just 10 winners last jump season at 7%.

I hadn't kept a track of her rides last season but she did had her share of time on the sidelines through injury. I would have no hesitation in supporting her were she based in the North as she is a brave as any of the lads at a fence.

She was off for seven months last season, so proportionally she had more rides per month than previously and more winners proportionally. She is getting outside rides, but her main job is at Ditcheat. As for her win at Warwick last monday, the stewards report blamed the second for bumping her horse when trying to run out.

Good research Chadfan.
