Winning point-to-pointer and hurdler Sir Bob gained his first success over fences on his 17th start at Punchestown last week. That was only his second start since April and he should make a bold bid for a quick double. R'EVELYN PLEASURE was racing for the first time since May when runner-up to the in-form Brandy Harbour, who was receiving 16lb, at Thurles and with his rider's claim a massive bonus he can go one better. It's two years since Forza Milan won a race but he's been racing in very much better class and is no forlorn hope. Blast Of Koeman is better over the banks course at Punchestown.
