Forecasts

Opening Bid (6/4), Urabamba (7/2), Rocambolas (11/2), Paddy's Return (11/2), Martalmix'jac (6/1), Duke Of Luckley (6/1), Etincelle Artiste (22/1), Tremwedge (22/1)

Verdict

On the face of things this looks a very good opportunity for OPENING BID to build on last month's Exeter second and get off the mark over fences at the sixth time of asking. Urabamba has been placed in similar company lately and should have a part to play again, while Rocambolas returned to his weak-finishing ways last time but would be a threat to all if reproducing the form he showed when scoring over hurdles last month.
