Big Bad Boo showed nothing in three runs on the Flat and was an 80/1 chance when making his hurdling debut at Fakenham. He ran a fine race that day and may even have won but for Lee Edwards losing an iron on the run-in. He looks certain to go well but Laudatory, a useful performer on the level, hasn't quite managed to get his act together over timber so far. ART BROKER looked a tricky ride at Ludlow last month but still managed a good second to Joker Choker. He looks ready to win soon and this looks his best chance so far.
