Bob's World was lightly raced on the Flat but did manage to win a maiden on the Polytrack and, after a pipe-opener, got off the mark over hurdles at Huntingdon nine days ago. It's anybody's guess how he'll handle this heavy ground, however, and we just prefer TRAVIS COUNTY. He was placed in desperate ground on the Flat in November and was fourth on soft going on his hurdling debut. Only beaten a length at Southwell next time, he can go one better today. Juno The Muffinman will probably run his usual game race but was no better than Bob's World on the Flat and has a double penalty to contend with today.
