Forecasts

Bagad Bihoue (1/11), Rakaia Rosa (9/1), Barney Boy (28/1), Mari Me Oscar (40/1)

Paul Nicholls has found an ideal opportunity for BAGAD BIHOUE to continue his education over fences. He has at least 28lb in hand of these rivals based on his hurdling form and this should be a straightforward task provided he puts in a clear round. Rakaia Rosa made all to land a three runner race at Towcester and the form looks suspect.
