Forecasts

Billy Boi Blue (10/3), Fire Flyer (7/2), Odin's Quest (6/1), Tigger (13/2), Bannow Bay Boy (8/1), Scrum Diddly (10/1), Claras Soldier (12/1), Soldierofthestorm (14/1), Samazul (14/1), Breaking Cover (14/1), Way Out (20/1), Ledders (20/1), Bar Thyme (33/1)

Verdict

This looks a good race of its type but BILLY BOI BLUE is the percentage call on the back of a promising effort when chasing home a next-time-out hurdles winner in a bumper at Huntingdon in the spring. Fire Flyer and Bannow Bay Boy make plenty of appeal on paper and are just a couple of potential threats.
