Isio Set For Racecourse Gallop

Nicky Henderson is planning to give Isio a racecourse gallop next week as part of the gelding´s preparation for a possible tilt at the Victor Chandler Chase on January 28.

The Seven Barrows trainer reports the 10-year-old in fine fettle following a spell on the sidelines with a leg problem.

'He worked very nicely on Saturday and I would like to take him to a racecourse,' said Henderson. 'Timing-wise it would be best to do it next week providing we can get permission from a suitable course.'

Isio was last seen chasing home Moscow Flyer in the 2004 Melling Chase having landed the Victor Chandler three months earlier when defeating Azertyuiop by a neck.

Henderson´s charge is a general 14-1 shot to take the race again.
