BOOMERANG BOB has returned to winning ways back on the all-weather and followed a victory at Southwell with a course and distance success. Jamie Osborne's charge is upped a further 4lb but beat Mythmaker last time and the latter went on to beat Normal Equilibrium here. Hold Tight looks a bigger threat on only his third start having finished runner-up over 7f at the track in October while Sandfrankskipsgo finished ahead of Luis Vaz De Torres when third at Wolverhampton and the latter has since won over track and trip. Apache Storm is not badly weighted but is not in the best of form at present.
