Verdict

RICKY BOBBY took a sizeable step forward when making a winning handicap debut at Cork and while he has been hit with a 9 lb rise, there may well be more to come from this 6-y-o. He is preferred to fellow last-time-out winner Baltinglass Hill and Shantou Lucky, who is worth another chance despite misfiring at Clonmel last time. Belgoprince is also on the shortlist.

  1. RICKY BOBBY (IRE)
  2. BALTINGLASS HILL (IRE)
  3. SHANTOU LUCKY (IRE)
