Verdict

THE ECHO BOY could be worth siding with having performed respectably back over fences in a C&D handicap on his second start since returning from a lengthy absence. The 10-y-o is lurking on an attractive mark and the drying ground is another positive. Conversely, the hat-trick seeking Sir Bob appears to be at his best on a slower surface but he has to be feared all the same. Glenloe continues to edge down the weights and will be a danger to all if he were to suddenly return to form.
