But he hasn't finished his winning spree just yet. Fortune is taken to land the Wolferton Handicap aboard...
Hutchings first for Premiership sack?: When Wigan appointed Chris Hutchings as their new manager in place of Paul Jewell who had managed to keep them in the Premiership with a last day victory, a lot of people were left asking Chris who?
