SIR BOB (NAP) likes plenty of give in the ground so could do with more rain though he's been in such good form that the conditions shouldn't prevent a hat-trick. He'd just got the better of R'evely Pleasure when that one fell at the last at Limerick in December and the latter also came to grief at Leopardstown last month. Difficult Decision went up 10lb for making all at Limerick and couldn't cope with the extra at Fairyhouse but The Echo Boy should now be ready to make his mark on his third start back after a very long absence. The consistent Diegos Way is 10lb wrong in the weights but his rider takes care of most of that and he's not without a chance.
