Bobndave is improving with experience, and ran his best race yet when finishing a weakening 11¾L third to Glinger Flame over C&D last month. However, the horse to side with is the Lucinda Russell-trained DR HOOVES. Bought for €130,000 as a three-year-old this Yeats gelding has always been held in high regard by the 2017 Grand National winning trainer. He demonstrated solid form in bumpers, and offered much hope for the future when making a pleasing hurdles debut at Musselburgh (2m4f, good) 43 days ago.
