Forecasts

Bob Bob Ricard (11/8), My Chiquita (13/8), Paddy O'Mahler (7/1), Arctic Fox (7/1), Globe Player (15/2), Coup De Coeur (12/1), Mount Falcon (25/1), Magical Arthur (50/1), Indian Sunbird (50/1), Jaxonne (80/1), Riccirella (150/1), Empty Nest (200/1), Ask My Heather (250/1)

Verdict

BOB BOB RICARD has displayed promise all 3 starts in bumpers, last seen chasing home another promising sort in the shape of Rock House at Huntingdon in the spring and, in a novice hurdle lacking a great deal of depth, he gets the vote to come out on top. Sedgefield-scorer My Chiquita and Arctic Fox head up the dangers, with another hurdles debutant Paddy O'Mahler another worth a look.

  1. BOB BOB RICARD (IRE)
  2. MY CHIQUITA
  3. ARCTIC FOX
