Verdict

Bronco Billy is one of only two booked rides for Noel Fehily this evening but, apart from a remote third at Huntingdon in February, he’s shown little aptitude for jumping fences so far. ONLY GORGEOUS has won twice at the track, most recently last week. He should be able to shrug off a penalty as he’s a tough sort. Railway Storm recorded his only win under Rules here just over a year ago but isn’t getting any younger.
