WHILE Gina Andrews continues to boot home winners between the flags, she hasn’t enjoyed the same luck of late in hunters’ chases and, at Leicester last Tuesday week, she had to settle for second on both rides trained by her husband, Tom Ellis.

In the extended two-and-three-quarter- mile open contest, the pair’s Indirocco finished eight lengths behind Marracudja, an 11-year-old Martaline gelding who was ridden by Tristan Durrell for the Dan Skelton yard.
