Bobayaro did us a favour on his latest outing and we stay loyal to Nicky Richards' charge again as he bids to give weight to main rivals Wild Spice and Mister Dave's. Bobayaro had put in some decent efforts in defeat before landing a class C event at Perth in April, jumping well and dictating the pace throughout in the hands of Tony Dobbin. Quite a useful novice in Ireland, the seven-year-old should once again put them to the sword here in a bid to shrug off his penalty. Wild Spice ploughed through the testing ground at Chepstow in January when a close second to Ask Henry, but surprisingly has not gone one better on faster ground. He should run well though as his stable are in form at present. Mister Dave's does not look a fluent jumper yet and will be found out on that score, but had ability over hurdles so is not one to give up on just yet.
