Chance for players to make key switches as transfer window approaches

Pendil Novices' Chase winner Who Dares Wins was among the runners to pick up valuable points for their respective stables the week before the transfer window opens.

Alan King's talented dual-purpose horse gained 31 points for his gutsy Grade 2 success at Kempton, while William Henry's dramatic win in the National Spirit Hurdle at Fontwell saw the veteran land 28.6 points for his followers.

Mister Malarky and Song For Someone's victories at Kempton were worth 28.2 and 23.6 points respectively.

Kevin G Stable1 maintains a 23.4-point lead but the placings remain incredibly tight with fewer than 30 points separating second and 40th spot.

The transfer window allows players to take a maximum of two horses out of their stable and replace with two new selections. It opens on Monday, March 2, at 8am and will close on Monday, March 9 at 5pm.

Players will have the opportunity to add horses who have leapt into Cheltenham Festival contention and remove those who will miss the rest of the season, including Buveur D'Air and Native River.

The feature races over the four days at the festival carry bonus points, with an extra 25 points to the winner and 12 to the runner-up.
