SUCH has been the impact Kielan Woods has made to the British racing scene in recent years that many racing fans may not be aware that he’s an Irishman through and through - though he’d be delighted if he nutmegs any horse from the boys in green at Cheltenham.

Woods can regard Cheltenham as a home game, based with his wife and family in a successful pre-training yard over the hill and not very far away from Prestbury Park and has been part of the British racing scene for more than a decade.
