BOB AND CO won a couple of minor contests under Rules around this time last year. He’s had wind surgery since but fitness is rarely an issue for one from his yard. The Worlds End was a Grade 1 winner over hurdles but his best days may be behind him judged on his never-nearer third at Warwick, though he shouldn’t be far away. Road To Rome was a clear-cut winner of this two years ago but, along with several of these, has a very long absence to overcome. Wishing And Hoping and the teenager Ravished may be best of the rest.
