RACE RESULT DISTANCES totewin: Kats Bob

The key to this race could be the recent clash over C&D between KATS BOB (first) and Caribbean Sunset (second), with the former taken to come out on top once again. That latter has gone up 3lb for a subsequent success, so Iain Jardine’s charge is only 1lb worse off with that rival as they reopposes and the fact he has won here over further is another plus. Course regular One Last Hug and The Caltonian cannot be ruled out either.
