Racing: Title climax

RICHARD DUNWOODY is in pole position in the race for the jump jockeys' championship going into the final week of the season.

The reigning champion's fine end to the campaign has brought him 11 winners in the past fortnight, taking him on to 190 for the term.

Adrian Maguire, who led the race from the start of the season until mid-May, is not going down without a fight. He rode a double on Friday and moved to just six winners behind Dunwoody when scoring on Seon at Hexham on Saturday.

But time is running out for the young challenger with only five days National Hunt racing until the season ends at Market Rasen on Saturday evening.

Maguire has a book of six rides at Huntingdon today including several likely favourites. Dunwoody rides in the first two events at Cartmel then switches to Uttoxeter for three mounts later in the afternoon.
