MARKY BOB has improved with each run and there was plenty to like about his third to Dreadnot in a huge field at Navan in March. The form of that race hasn't worked out so far but Dessie Hughes' charge has more progress to make and this doesn't look a strong heat. Financial Beauty didn't show much in three bumpers but made a nice hurdling debut in a big field at Clonmel and is definitely the type to improve over obstacles being a full sister to the useful jumper Financial Reward. She had Matters At Hand and Notforturin behind that day and should confirm the form while Cast In Stone, who has shown some ability in bumpers, may just need the run after a long absence.
