CONSULT had Mexican Bob behind when third over 2m5f at Towcester last time. Martin Keighley's four-year-old is running well enough to suggest he'll go close again off his current mark and he was third over this longer trip at Uttoxeter in September. Tribal Dance will be a danger, however, as he is on a hat-trick after wide-margin victories at Huntingdon and Fontwell and is still improving. Frameit wasn't disgraced when fifth at Huntingdon on Thursday but may find this stiffer test coming too soon.
