Verdict

A Few Bob Back was a little below his best last time but has dropped down to a fair mark and is now just 2lb higher compared to his victory over course and distance in November. The son of Bob Back will relish the conditions and can come out on top in a trappy contest. Irish challenger Supreme Being is another well suited by give in the ground and has to be feared on his respectable placed effort over this trip at Punchestown last month. Hugo De Perro was a comfortable winner at Kelso last month but is 6lb higher and looks held by the handicapper on the evidence of his latest start while hat-trick seeking Talarive will find this tougher off his revised mark.
