Bobo Mac has been running well in handicaps but it is two years since he was last seen in novice company. Courtesy of his sole victory to date over fences at Ludlow in November, he has to give 5lb to his two rivals. COMMODORE BARRY hasn’t quite fulfilled his potential so far but his form is solid and this looks a good opportunity with his yard in cracking form. Coole Hall’s record is also respectable but he’s already been beaten three times over track and trip.
