Race Tip
PHANTOMOFTHEPOINTS (9) brings good placed form following a neck second in a lower level 2m maiden hurdle at Ayr during December. The six-year-old holds a G1 Cheltenham Festival entry and rates highly. INTHEWATERSIDE (2) found success by 2.25L at Lingfield a month ago in a 2m3 1/2f novices handicap hurdle. Showing promising and could go close. VINCENZO (11) indicated ability at Warwick when 3.25L second tackling this trip. Open to further improvement. IDY WOOD (1) placed third in a Cheltenham G2 Novices hurdle during October and scored at Plumpton last month. Interesting.
