Forecasts

Clean Getaway (9/4), Edinburgh Rock (11/2), Ingleby Mackenzie (15/2), Mcpherson (17/2), Diamant Sur Canape (9/1), Hey Bob (10/1), Bugle Major (11/1), True Romance (11/1), Calevade (12/1), Charlie's Rockstar (20/1), Princess Poppy (28/1)

Verdict

HEY BOB ended last term below his best but did take a step firmly in the right direction when beaten only by a subsequent winner in a selling handicap at Fakenham 3 weeks ago and, partnered by Brian Hughes, he can make a bold bid to supplement his victory in this corresponding race 12 months ago. Clean Getaway hasn't often convinced with his finishing effort but he's a player down in grade nevertheless. True Romance and Edinburgh Rock are others worth a look.
