Verdict

Though he failed to exploit a lower hurdles mark at Chepstow last time, REPRESENTING BOB put in a good shift nonetheless in finishing second that day and is taken to maintain his 100% record in this sphere. Indeed, he remains open to improvement as a chaser and promises to be suited by this step up in trip. Scottish Accent and No Cruise Yet rate the main dangers in that order of preference.

  1. REPRESENTING BOB (IRE)
  2. SCOTTISH ACCENT (IRE)
  3. NO CRUISE YET
