NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 4) (GBB

RACE)

A major eyecatcher on his debut at Windsor when meeting trouble before finishing fast for second, INSANITY can gain compensation in the hands of William Buick. A taking winner on his introduction at Newcastle last October, Intinso disappointed in the Feilden Stakes at Newmarket on his return and this will be far easier. Lady Boba and Real Gain are expected to be thereabouts as well.

PLAY SMARTER

The fact that INTINSO went off at only 5/1 in a Newmarket listed race on his second outing would suggest that the Gosden stable thinks quite a bit of him and he can take his record to 2-3 with his sights lowered. The William Buick-ridden Insanity made a pleasing start to his career when runner-up at Windsor last month and is second choice ahead of Real Gain, who had some useful sorts in behind when winning on his Kempton debut last autumn.
