Winning pointer Branson Missouri has been pretty consistent over hurdles but progress may have stalled. Gateau De Miel showed a big improvement in a tongue-tie at Tramore while Hymie Weiss was probably an unlucky loser at Kilbeggan in April but has been off the track since. We’ll take a chance on BOUT TIME BOBBY, who finished ahead of the more-experienced Moakland when fourth on his hurdling debut at Sligo and has plenty of scope for improvement having had only three career starts.
