After a career best second to the Paul Nicholls-trained Silver Birch at Chepstow last time, Bob Ar Aghaidh is bound to be a popular choice with many for the opened on the Folkestone card. However, the winning trainer there has a line to Alistair Lidderdale's horse with Maybe The Business he gets the TEAMtalk vote. Twice a winner in bumper company, the son of Karinga Bay stepped up on his debut effort when chasing home Always Rainbows (unlucky when falling last flight on Saturday) at Wetherby last month and a reproduction of that form should be good enough. Of the others, Nurzyk, another Polish import from the in-form Tom George stable makes most appeal and could go well at a nice price, while Roky Star and Tristan Ludlow have both shown signs of ability.
