every horse bar last year's first and second, Sprinter Sacre and Cue Card, in the last 9 renewals of this

Hurdle title after Comedy of Errors (1975). He's looked irresistible so far this season with his

Long Handicap: Double Dizzy 9 - 13

TIMEFORM VIEW: Handicapping issues often aren't so important as previous experience of crosscountry fences when assessing this race, and, as ever, the Irish hold a strong hand. Arabella Boy and
Outlaw Pete spearhead their challenge, but veteran A New Story may be worth chancing to regain his
former crown.

N Fehily
C E Longsdon

133

Notes:

Jockey Colours: Royal blue, dark green sleeves and cap

Timeform says: Disappointed on chase bow, but put that behind him when scoring at
Warwick, and improved when second to Swift Arrow in 2m handicap at Musselburgh in
December. Headstrong, but capable of better yet.

Notes:

Jockey Colours: Light green, purple star and star on cap

Timeform says: Completed hat-trick of chase/hurdle wins at Worcester (23f) in October. Not
disgraced since, but gives the impression his progress has plateaued, and others look better
treated now.

handicaps before landing 3-runner affair over this trip at Ludlow last time. Takes a steep rise
in class, but may do better yet.

Notes:

Timeform says: Winning hurdler who made successful chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2m) in
June. Followed Chepstow second (after 6 months off) with success at Wincanton (2m), but
below par at Newbury since.
(Forecast 67.00)

TIMEFORM VIEW: Colour Squadron has certainly caught the eye in his build up to this, and would
look well treated if translating his best hurdles form, but the one who appeals most on recent efforts is
The Druids Nephew, and Andy Turnell's charge gets the nod. Carlito Brigante and Shangani are others
to consider in an open contest.
Timeform 1-2-3:
1: THE DRUIDS NEPHEW
2: COLOUR SQUADRON
