Bob's Bar is penalised for winning at Hexham on his hurdling bow though should figure once again. But several arrive on the back of winning bumpers including WASHINGTON, who landed a double with a cosy victory at Huntingdon in March and should go close if taking to the obstacles. Head Law won in France at the end of last year and now races in the McManus colours while Hurlerontheditch has joined Kim Bailey’s yard having undergone wind surgery since scoring at Wexford in March.
