BOBBLE HAT BOB should be a short price to see off The Mighty Bard and Doheny Bar. Jonjo O'Neill's charge looked a future winner when finishing second at Ffos Las last time out and this return to novice company from handicaps looks a wise move from all concerned. The Mighty Bard started off his career with Nicky Henderson though has been sent point-to-pointing since. Doheny Bar finished second in a handicap chase at Tramore and is making his debut for new connections this afternoon. Karzelle had demonstrated some ability in bumpers though has not progressed on the racecourse. Glacial Harry conversely was well turned over in his three starts in that sphere and has been rapidly pushed up to staying trips in the hope of better. With the remainder showing only limited ability at best, it is fairly easy to pass them over. Bobble Hat Bob is proven over trip and going and it would be a major disappointment were he not able to gain an overdue success.
