(10)

Bomb Squad⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Murtagh| T: J Mackie| OR: 49| BF| D

9/2

On a losing but but he posted an excellent clear second of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft, 2/1) 9 days ago. Player off the same mark.

Form: 329542

Forecasts

Ustath (4/1), Bomb Squad (9/2), Starter For Ten (13/2), Billian (13/2), Wrath Of Hector (13/2), Soi Dao (7/1), Dark Shot (10/1), Tantastic (18/1), Holbache (20/1), Capla Spirit (22/1), Tell'em Nowt (40/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but BOMB SQUAD can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent second at Thirsk so is taken to emerge on top. Holbache is also weighted to have a say and feared most, although both course-winner Tantastic and Chepstow-victor Soi Dao need factoring in too.
