Bob won a novelty classified race at Doncaster last time with Tiger Jim back in fourth. Instant Attraction has recorded both wins so far on the all-weather including at Wolverhampton last time but Red Paladin went close at Leicester recently and can figure. Ted's Brother was only beaten a nose over track and trip in between a couple of modest efforts while Powerful Presence is back on a winning mark if at his best. But ZACYNTHUS has also slipped down the weights and he gets a tentative vote with Louis Steward's 5lb allowance further helping his cause.
