In depth
Verdict
Dual hurdles winner Bbold was having only his second start over fences when well supported at Market Rasen though didn't get the stamina test he requires and can do better. MISTERCOBAR also started favourite over 3m at the same fixture having won over 2m5f there earlier. He didn't last out the trip that day and can get back to winning ways. Battle Of Ideas ran poorly on heavy ground at Plumpton in December but his earlier runs at around this trip put him in the picture. Mister Tickle jumped poorly on his chasing debut on heavy ground at Uttoxeter in January but better going can bring about some improvement for his new trainer.
