Dan Skelton marked a successful day at Worcester with a remarkable four-win performance, powered notably by his new recruit, Talk To The Man. Previously trained by Paul Nicholls, Talk To The Man made a seamless transition to Skelton’s yard, securing victory in a competitive novice chase on Thursday. Starting as the 15-8 favorite, the horse displayed smooth jumping and efficient race tactics, ultimately holding off the promising Klimt Madrik by four lengths.

The four wins contributed to Skelton’s ongoing pursuit of matching the seasonal winner record set by Martin Pipe. Alongside Talk To The Man’s success, Albie Littlewood, Lune Brillante, and Leaumec De Mee all recorded winning runs, further bolstering Skelton’s tally for the season.

Speaking after the races, Skelton expressed satisfaction with Talk To The Man’s performance, noting the horse adapted well to jumping fences and handled the race conditions confidently. He acknowledged the challenge in planning for upcoming winter fixtures due to scheduling uncertainties but remained optimistic about the horse’s prospects. Skelton indicated that they would soon test Talk To The Man further to determine his potential and future race targets.

The results at Worcester highlight Skelton’s strong form and suggest that Talk To The Man could be a valuable addition to his stable as the season progresses.
