Forecasts

Bob Mahler (9/2), Little Bruce (9/2), Chic Name (5/1), Brian Boranha (6/1), Arthur's Gift (6/1), Sumkindofking (7/1), Wonderful Charm (7/1), Carole's Destrier (14/1), Harry The Viking (28/1), Blow By Blow (40/1)

Verdict

Little Bruce impressed when winning last time at Catterick and can progress further despite being nudged up in the ratings. He had 3L in hand on Sumkindofking (now 5lb better off) and both are likely to go well again. Chic Name has been going well in Cross Country races and may again run well but BOB MAHLER had Little Bruce behind when they clashed in the spring at Cheltenham and ran well last time at Doncaster. He is the sort that might excel over a marathon trip and looks decent value at the early prices.
  1. Bob Mahler
  2. Little Bruce
  3. Sumkindofking
