Forecasts

Where's Hector (11/4), Bobby Bow (10/3), Rowdy Rustler (4/1), Ardera Cross (13/2), Wee Small Hours (13/2), The Jad Factor (7/1), Gold Emery (8/1), Ripper Roo (17/2), Hell On Earth (16/1), Deep Charm (20/1), Road Warrior (40/1)

Verdict

BOBBY BOW made a most encouraging start over fences when runner-up at Ffos Las where he pulled well clear of the rest, an effort that was all the more meritorious considering that he was returning from a 21-month absence. If able to build on that here, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Veterans Ardera Cross and Wee Small Hours were both successful last time and need considering but the lightly-raced Gold Emery is feared most. Rowdy Rustler is also shortlisted.

  1. BOBBY BOW (IRE)
  2. GOLD EMERY (FR)
  3. ARDERA CROSS (IRE)
