7/4
Three of his four chase starts have been poor, but close second to Ballybroker Breeze at Perth in April 2016 shows what he can do when he puts it all together. On same mark here and clearly very risky, but can't be discounted under conditions that should suit.

10/11
Travelled much better than had been the norm at Huntingdon recently, and did well in giving plenty of weight away to the second (a winner since). Only 5lb higher here, so no issue with mark, but still a question mark as to effectiveness going left-handed.

Won as easy as you like at Uttoxeter in January but it's testament to some moderate efforts since that she's already back on the same handicap mark. Faces competition for the lead here and others hold stronger claims.

Forecasts

Bronco Billy (10/11), Florida Calling (7/4), Alberobello (5/2), Timon's Tara (9/2), Paddy The Oscar (6/1), One For The Boss (10/1)

Verdict

Only six runners but this promises to be fast and furious, with only One For The Boss likely to decline the early gallop. There is a chance that if they go too quickly, he might be able to pick them off, but as long as BRONCO BILLY is as effective left-handed as right-handed, he looks the one on an upward curve. Florida Caling is a dangerous lurker and will win again one of these days. Alborobello can't be discounted either.
