Verdict
Bouncing Bobby was a ready victor on the Flat here last month and left behind some very ordinary form in hurdling events in the process. Grand Canal scored on fast ground last term but kept on encouragingly at Hamilton on what was a second start for Jim Goldie. However, RED FORCE ONE has ran a couple of decent races in defeat at Catterick and makes a quick reappearance having gone close at the latter track a couple of days ago.
