Turnberry Bay has cost supporters in the past but he is given another chance today, Bob Bites Back and Even Flo could be worth backing each-way. The selection was turned over by Le Rouge Fatal at Sedgefield in October before being out-classed in a Cheltenham class two event won by Tidal Bay. This is much more his level and must warrant support this afternoon. Even Flo showed plenty of promise in bumpers but has made a poor start to her hurdling career. However it would be no surprise to see this one suddenly get the hang of things and the stable do pop up with big priced winners on a regular basis. Bob Bites Back didn't show too much on his bumper debut but is certainly bred for this game and hails from a very shrewd yard. There are others such as Michabo and Sir Peter who are open to any amount of improvement but Turnberry Bay has the form in the bag and he gets the decision.
