Verdict

WEBBSWOOD went close a couple of times over hurdles over the winter and came up against a couple of potentially-decent novices on his chasing bow at Warwick. He jumped well in the main and could be good enough to give 17lb to Fontwell runner-up Knockyoursocksoff. Another winning pointer, Big Night Out, is worth a market check but Dancing Dik is getting no nearer and has become expensive to follow. Blazing Glen has ability but is very hard to predict.
