In depth

Verdict

SMALL BAD BOB travelled well throughout his debut over hurdles at Killarney and was only caught in the closing stages by the odds-on West Cork Wildway. He can gain compensation as It Could Be You, who has also had a run over timber, looked one-paced on that same track last month. Patrick Mullins rides Ardla for Michael Halford and the son of Delegator should have enough pace to get involved but Ballymoney has a stayers' pedigree. Summer Tide is one to keep an eye on in the market.
