ECHO BOB is only moderate over hurdles but made a fine start to his chasing career when just touched off over today's C&D and provided he is none the worse for his first-fence fall at Fairyhouse he should be up to taking this. Flirthing Around won a couple of races over hurdles but looks as though a longer trip will suit over the bigger obstacles, a remark that also applies to Fairwood Bob, who made a promising start over fences at Downpatrick last October though that was over 2m7f. Benny's Quest showed stronger form on good ground over timber so may be better than his recent efforts on soft ground suggest.
