Verdict

Eight And Bob has only scored once in 16 attempts on the Flat, though it was over this sort of trip at Leopardstown last summer. He has now relocated to the Willie Mullins yard and, on that basis alone, may prove popular here. He has claims but, after 391 days off, isn't overly appealing at cramped odds. Fontainbleau won at Musselburgh 10 days ago and can go well from just a pound higher here but HEAD TURNER is worth a speculative vote. The mare has twice made the frame in five starts on the level this summer and she could be well suited by this extra emphasis on stamina having won five races over jumps from 2m-2m4f.
