Going: Good (Good to Yielding in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneRace Tip
The chances of SIR BOB would increase significantly if the rain arrived but even at that, the JP McManus owned gelding must be a serious contender. His facile victory over hurdles at Cork last time was undoubtedly exaggerated given conditions but returning to fences off a 15lb lower mark he has to be the most likely winner. The best of his earlier form at this discipline entitles the Robert Tyner trained 10-year-old to plenty respect. Roped In has yet to win a race of any description but has hinted at ability on a few occasions throughout her career. She too, would prefer an ease in the ground. Touch Of Oscar is well handicapped on his best form and the switch to Michael Hourigan could well reignite his interest. Carnet De Stage and Clonguile Way are others to consider.
