Big money buy from Irish points and has confirmed bumper promise switched to hurdles this season, runner-up at Stratford on return before going one better at Southwell. Big player under a penalty.

Form: 275-21

Bobby Bow²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| D

9/1

Lightly-raced winner in points and was found a weak maiden when making a winning start to life over hurdles in ready fashion at Hexham last month. Needs considering under a penalty.

Form: 41-1

Fantastikas²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

7/2

Scopey 5-y-o who showed plenty in bumpers, runner-up at Fakenham on final outing. No match for winner on hurdles bow at Stratford on return but should come on for the experience. Should go well.

Barbados Buck's (4/7), Fantastikas (7/2), Mr Harp (4/1), Bobby Bow (9/1), Wick Green (22/1), Stadmallen (125/1), Just A Cracker (150/1), Chief Sittingbull (200/1), Right To Reason (200/1), Well Finn (250/1)

FANTASTIKAS showed plenty in bumpers and did enough on his hurdles bow at Stratford to be a big player here, with the step up in distance likely to suit. Penalised-winners Barbados Buck's and Bobby Bow should have more to offer and look obvious threats.
