INSURGENCE is progressing well as evidenced by his latest course and distance victory when shrugging off an 8lb rise to beat the in-form Bungee Jump. There looks more to come from James Fanshawe’s charge and he’s preferred to the returning Sergio Leone, who won a novice race over 6f at Kempton in October and makes his handicap debut. Crack On Crack On is another steadily improving and makes more appeal than Epic Fantasy and Central City while Zaajer is another to keep an eye on as he returns to action.
