Our Bobby has continued to run well from his raised mark since scoring over the course and distance in the summer though he doesn't look particularly well handicapped. Laser Focus is progressing and was only beaten a neck in a Tramore maiden so looks reasonably handicapped on 102. NAVIGATOR JACK (NAP) scored over 2m4f at Limerick in the summer and reappeared after a break to run a fine race over this trip at Fairyhouse three weeks ago. He's on the same mark and can go in again. Iridescent's victory at Cork came over 3m so this looks on the short side but the lightly-raced Up And Out has some scope and can't go much lower in the ratings. Doyen To Win was engaged in the 2.40 at Wexford yesterday.
