Hey Bob has suddenly turned into something of a moneyspinner by landing three selling handicaps for Olly Murphy and now seeks to continue the good work for his new yard off a notably higher rating. He has his conditions though and Ned Fox claims a handy 7lb. However, BESTIARIUS is an interesting contender here for Gillian Boanas and the best of his recent handicap form would see him go close in this grade. Lady Shanawell is interesting but has a lay-off to deal with, whilst The Steward is impossible to omit from calculations as he has a course and distance success on his CV for his local yard who target this meeting. A good run is expected.
