Forecasts

King Of Lombardy (7/2), Birdman Bob (4/1), Nickelforce (5/1), Grandee (11/2), One Last Glance (15/2), One Man Party (17/2), Legal Rights (10/1), Kauto Kawai (12/1), Rivers Corner (20/1), Who Is That (20/1), The Cox Express (22/1), Reine Fee (25/1), Canford Light (25/1)

Verdict

It may be worth chancing KING OF LOMBARDY, who has failed to build on his hurdles debut promise in five subsequent starts but he's now 13 lb lower than when making his handicap bow last spring and there were positives to glean from his latest effort at Taunton. Birdman Bob has to be feared on the back of a solid effort here last time and he rates the main danger ahead of Nickelforce and One Last Glance.

  1. KING OF LOMBARDY (IRE)
  2. BIRDMAN BOB (IRE)
  3. NICKELFORCE (IRE)
