REPRESENTING BOB left his modest hurdling form behind when making a winning debut over fences with a recent victory at Stratford. The third has subsequently won so the form the looks solid enough and he can go in again.

The latter scored over hurdles at Southwell in May while On The Platform won over timber here in the same month. Deputy Jones placed at Huntingdon recently but remains a maiden after 16 starts.
