Insurrection^t⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 135

5/4

Dual winner over hurdles who made an encouraging start to chasing career when second of 5 in listed novice at Chepstow (19.4f, good) in October. Sustained a wounded leg when well held at Wincanton since and remains with potential in this discipline.

Form: 2331-23

Idy Wood³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 125| D

9/4

Consistent in the main over hurdles last term and made a winning start in this sphere when landing 6-runner novice handicap at Kempton (18f, good to soft) in October. However, ran no sort of race at Newbury last time, so bounce back now called for.

Form: 2137-18

Hurlerontheditch^t⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 117

9/4

Bumper winner who, following another wind op, recorded a first success over obstacles when scoring in handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, good) last month, jumping accurately before all out to hold off the runner-up. Can give another good account.

Form: 655-221

Forecasts

Insurrection (5/4), Hurlerontheditch (9/4), Idy Wood (9/4), Equinus (14/1)

INSURRECTION bettered his hurdles form at the first time of asking sent chasing, runner-up in a listed novice at Chepstow on return, and having had excuses last time he is taken to open his account in this sphere. The biggest threat looks to be Hurlerontheditch, who gained a deserved first win over fences on his latest outing.
