SPIDER BOB has run well in a couple of bumper races and he should be good enough to win a poor race such as this, while both Light Touch and Parky are horses to note. The selection caught the eye when finishing fourth of twelve at Ballinrobe beaten less than ten lengths. Connections have decided to cross the Irish Sea for the better ground and with further improvement to come he ought to be difficult to beat. Light Touch pulled up on his one and only point to point run but he comes from a yard that are doing well at present so any market moves should be noted. Parky was well supported when finishing sixth of ten on his debut at Sedgefield in April. He is sure to come on for the experience and therefore he warrants respect. This is a poor bumper in terms of quality and quantity but the Irish raider Spider Bob gets the strong vote.
