SIR BOB finally got the job done over fences at Punchestown recently, jumping with greater fluency than is so often the case, and a 6 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him from going in again (winner off a mark just 1 lb lower than this over hurdles during the spring) in a race in which many of his rivals have something to prove. Next on the list is R'evelyn Pleasure, who is also prone to mistakes but avoided any serious errors when second at Thurles last time. Forza Mila is best of the rest.
