Is bob really back though?

I'm not so sure

Very much looks like race to avoid betting wise

Yeah, he's back alright. Unbeatable over 2 1/2 . This is his race. Perfect for him.

I’ve serious doubts about Bobs ability to put two good performances together back to back any more. I don’t like Marie’s Rock mush but she should be winning tomorrow if she’s still interested in the game at all.
 
Bob will win along with Stage Star. Two stand outs for me tomorrow. Shame there's not a 2 1/2m Hurdle at the Fez. Bob would be a Banker for that.

He strikes me now as the type to catch first time out as he doesn’t appreciate the upward taper in training from race to race anymore.

I'm surprised too

Very similar to the Sir Gerhard race today, a field of horses that are on their the way down - just a question of who has retained their ability or started high up that a dent in their recent performances is still better than the rest of the field

Bob isnt exactly the machine most of us thought he would be... but I liked the way he finally stuck his head down and battled to win LTO.

The main reason why I think BO will win tomorrow is because of race conditions, only 4 runners. MR will want cover as she tends to run keen, Strong Leader unlikely to lead either, and the trainer has mentioned plenty of times that SL doesnt want it too soft. Then you have Brewin, 11 year old. Cant see there being any pace in the race tomorrow so likely to be a a bit of a dash (in the mud) as they come up the hill.
 
Instit is a stand out 5/1 tomorrow to beat ADV at Fairyhouse. She's ahead 2-1 in their meetings and is 2/2 at the course beating ADV there on one occasion.

Agreed- i'd be on the 3rd fav, if it wasn't for the ground.....i'll watch Bob. Hope he wins, but the less said the better about some of the comments here.

I don't think so after yesterday's run. I'd pick another one with Bob if I were you jack.

Yeah the 4 runner thing concerns me re Maries
If she settles she wins this comfortably imo
But will she?

Won't matter imo. This is the perfect race for Bob which is why he and Rachel have come across. Just a shame the race is 3.15ppm !!!! So annoying.

You'd be brave backing Allegorie for anything onwards. Looks absolutely tripless to me, and so incredibly inconsistent. All aboard the Dino train

I hope you're right but... Not at all concerned that Dinoblue could also have issues with the trip?
 
Her last performance put those doubts to bed for me Benjy

She was absolutely motoring home over 2m1 in the Paddy Rewards after a red hot tempo. I'd have no issue with the trip myself now, she's a much more tractable horse than she was last season, and progressing enormously

That race a few days ago was so weirdly run

What about Limerick Lace, guaranteed stayer, bolted in the other day. Looks to have improved quite a lot this season.


I'd imagine plenty of us have put quite a few antepost slips in the bin over the last week

Been so many big prospects turned over at short prices
