The former David O'Meara trained Bop It ran by far and away his best race to date for Mick Easterby at Thirsk ten days ago, but he faces a tough rival in the shape of the current O'Meara trained improver STATE RESIDENCE . The visor and tongue tie combination have seemingly helped this three-year-old to become more consistent and he looks set to make another bold bid from the front under a penalty for Saturday's Redcar success. Of the remainder, the well treated Willbeme could make the frame at reasonable odds.
