BOB BOB RICARD has displayed promise all 3 starts in bumpers, last seen chasing home another promising sort in the shape of Rock House at Huntingdon in the spring and, in a novice hurdle lacking a great deal of depth, he gets the vote to come out on top. Sedgefield-scorer My Chiquita and Arctic Fox head up the dangers, with another hurdles debutant Paddy O'Mahler another worth a look.
