Big day for . . . Christian Williams.


Byline: Tony Elves

CHRISTIAN WILLIAMS will today put behind him a frustrating period as he returns to the saddle on Quattrocento quat·tro·cen·to

The 24-year-old was steadily rebuilding his career, and had notched 30 winners for the season, when breaking his leg when Allistathebarrista ran out at the last at Warwick on February 9.

Such was his determination, he did not become aware of his injury until he was getting the leg-up to ride for Paul Nicholls in the later Grade 2 novice chase.

Surgery was undertaken but, such is Williams' resilience, just over five weeks later he is fit and ready to resume, following a visit to BHA BHA butylated hydroxyanisole, an antioxidant used in foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals that contain fats or oils.

Williams said yesterday: "I was on crutches until the Monday of last week, but I saw the surgeon that day and have been riding out for a week.

"I have three pins on the top of the tibia tibia: see leg. , but I am fine now and I would like to get a few rides under my belt and get my eye in, and then hopefully pick up a few rides at Aintree."

He added: "All I need now are a few winners."
