Wood Yer’s final start of the 2011 season came in the form of Download Williamhill.Com On Your Mobile Novices’ Chase on 26th December at Huntingdon over two miles and four and a half furlong.

Getting the race under the belt today will extend the winning streak to four and will be a second straight victory of the new season.
