BOUNCING BOBBY got off the mark in fine style over C&D last month and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent the five-year-old from going in again. The form of that race may not have worked out since but he still gets the vote ahead of Red Force One, who boasts every chance if turning up here following his second at Catterick on Saturday. Grand Canal looks to be finding his feet with new connections and is not dismissed.
