Forecasts

Bob Olinger (1/3), French Dynamite (1/1), Torygraph (16/5), Dewcup (11/2), Zoffanien (9/1), Alko Rouge (12/1), Farceur Du Large (16/1), Commandingpresence (20/1), Rhinestone (50/1), Whatsafellatodo (66/1), Fighting Fit (150/1), Fou Diligence (250/1), Serpolette (250/1), Fantastic Allen (250/1)

BOB OLINGER is among the shortest-priced favourites already for the 2022 Cheltenham Festival, heading the betting for the Marsh Novices' Chase, and the exciting 6-y-o, who stormed to victory in the Ballymore when last seen, can make the perfect start over fences. French Dynamite can complete a 1-2 for the owners.
