Walsh`s British Success Continues

Ruby Walsh`s mid-week raids on British racing over the last few weeks have proved to be very successful, culminating in a four-timer at Chepstow this afternoon.

Walsh`s recently forged association with British trainer Paul Nicholls has been the source of most victories, but even though most of those winners have been odds-on hotpots, the partnership has proved to be highly profitable.

Walsh has now ridden thirty winners across the water and twenty-six of those have been for Paul Nicholls.

Three of Walsh`s winners today were for Nicholls, while Mary Reveley was the other beneficiary of the Kildare-born jockeys` talents.

Walsh opened the proceedings today by comfortably scoring with the Paul Nicholls` charge Silver Birch. Even punters are latching onto this trainer-jockey team by making the gelding 7/4 favourite from 3/1.

The second race on the card saw Walsh forced to settle for fourth place aboard Stennikov.

But Ruby returned to winning ways aboard Mary Reveley`s Bhutan, coming home an easy victor to give the 5/4 favourite his seventh career win.

The following race saw the Nicholls-Walsh team score again, this time with the seven-year-old mare No Need For Alarm. The hot 2/5 favourite made all, and went clear from the seventh flight but despite making a mistake at the last, won very easily.

Walsh notched up his fourth of the afternoon, and Nicholls` third when Asador drew clear from two out to secure a 4L victory.
