Forecasts

Small Bad Bob (13/8), In The Air (11/4), Watergrange Jack (4/1), American Gerry (13/2), Times Are Blue (17/2)

Verdict

It could be worth siding with former C&D winner SMALL BAD BOB who arrives on the back of success over fences at Plumpton 4 days ago and has plenty of handicapping scope judged on his old form over hurdles. In The Air, who ran well himself when second at Taunton in March rates the chief threat.

  1. SMALL BAD BOB (IRE)
  2. IN THE AIR (FR)
  3. WATERGRANGE JACK (IRE)
