No. 7 Bad Boy Du Pouldu
2.50 Sandown
1pt win at 8-1 generally

This lightly raced five-year-old recorded an RPR of 121 when landing a 2m11/2f hurdle at Pau in January, but was pulled up over course and distance on his debut in Britain for Gary Moore and is surely better than he was able to show that day.

He remains unexposed after only two runs over hurdles, both on heavy grund, and has the potential to improve now switched to a better surface after a 240-day absence for a trainer who has an impressive 25 per cent strike-rate (22-87) at this track in the last five seasons, for a whopping £1 level-stake profit of £110.98.
