Recent form figures clearly show how hard this field is finding it to win and modest stakes are the order of the day with question marks against most. Stormhoek has obvious claims at his best but has thrown in the towel the last twice whilst Meirig's Dream has flattered to deceive on more than one occasion. Nevertheless, the Hobbs inmate inhabits a tempting mark and should certainly get involved but SUPREME BOB is the selection. He houses a solid if unspectacular profile in 2014 and was still travelling nicely enough when unseating behind the in-form Tokyo Javelix at Chepstow last time and is taken to make amends. Tough Talkin Man and Zama Zama are also noteworthy.
