Good Boy Bobby has been sent off favourite in six of his seven career starts to date and won five of them. However, this will be his first run over a trip this far and the recent Southwell winner will not find it easy to give 6lb to QUOI DE NEUF. Evan Williams’ stable selection has had a break but only weakened approaching the last in a Grade 2 at Sandown in December having won over this trip at Aintree before that. The others are probably playing for places.
