WILLIAMS HAS WINNING LINE Trainer Ian Williams and owners The Winning Line had a day to remember at Fakenham yesterday landing a double courtesy of Cardiff Arms and Damus.The former put a disappointing performance at Cheltenham last time behind him in division one of the Colkirk Crown Novices` Hurdle. However, Tony McCoy`s mount, the 4 to 6 favourite, had to work a little bit harder than expected to land the spoils, seeing off Mansa Musa by a length.Promising conditional rider David Dennis wore The Winning Line`s silks as he made all aboard 9 to 4 chance Damus in the Fakenham Crown Hotel Novices` Chase. Damus may make a quick reappearance over the Christmas period.Kadarann has his quirks but justified even-money favouritism in impressive style in the Roy Wilson Memorial Juvenile Hurdle. Nicky Henderson`s charge came home 11 lengths clear of newcomer Tantalus.Henderson and Fitzgerald completed a 6 to 1 double when Hooded Hawk saw off Reflex Courier by five lengths in the Wensum Lodge Handicap Chase.Poor visibility caused the abandonment of yesterday`s meeting at Southwell.Marlborough was taken out of the betting for the Pertemps King George VI Chase at Kempton on St Stephen`s Day following the news that Nicky Henderson`s charge is likely to miss the contest. The eight-yearold is more likely to run at Wetherby over the Christmas period as part of a campaign geared towards the Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup in March.
