Forecasts
Espoir De Teillee (4/6), Blairs Cove (7/4), Black Art (5/1), Jack Devine (16/1), Rocket Ronnie (40/1), Bogardus (66/1), The Resdev Way (100/1), Easter Mytton (200/1)
Perhaps not quite the match that the betting suggests, with Black Art likely to be suited by a step up in trip after a reasonably pleasing hurdles/stable debut at Hexham, but it's difficult to look beyond the doubly penalised Blairs Cove and the hurdling newcomer ESPOIR DE TEILLEE. The Neil Mulholland Ffos Las bumper winner arrives with a hefty price tag on his shoulders, and for that reason alone he's the pick. His trainer (1 from 5; 20% strike rate, past five years), and jockey (2 from 5; 40% strike rate, past five years) wouldn't be the most frequent visitors to Catterick, so presumably today's visit is solely about seeking an ideal starting point (and decent ground) for one of the stables higher profile young horses.
