Winston Junior out to break new ground for Bramley

By Racing TV

Last Updated: Tue 10 Feb 2026

Faye Bramley is continuing to ride the crest of the wave in a whirlwind season that will see her head to the Cheltenham Festival with the exciting Winston Junior.

The impressive Ascot winner, who holds an entry for the Triumph Hurdle and is also the general favourite for the Fred Winter Juvenile Hurdle, will spearhead the rookie handler’s team for National Hunt’s showpiece meeting in a season where she has put her fledgling operation on the map.

Training out of Sir Anthony McCoy’s pre-training yard in Lambourn, Bramley has saddled Paggane to win two Listed contests this term, while Glengouly provided a day to savour when causing a shock in the December Gold Cup at Cheltenham prior to Christmas.

Attentions are now turned again to Prestbury Park, where Winston Junior will be amongst a handful of hopefuls Bramley will saddle in a bid to get off the mark at the Festival.

“He’s doing really well and I’m really happy with how he’s progressing,” said Bramley, of Winston Junior. “The owners will decide what race they want to run him in, but he’s a nice horse.

“It’s brilliant and there was a time I couldn’t even imagine having a runner at Cheltenham, but to have a horse like him with a squeak of winning is unbelievable. It’s exciting.

“It’s been a rollercoaster of a season and great. The owners have been really supportive and for them to support me like they do and give me the chance is brilliant.”
