Multiple winner who hinted at a revival for his new yard after 5 months off/wind op when sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Kempton (24f, good) in April. Stepped up on that when third at Bangor and he's been eased a further 2 lb.
|
Dual winner over fences for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland but no impact last year, tailed-off last on yard debut in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f, good) in October. Awful lot to prove on reappearance.
|
Showed promise in bumpers and on his hurdles debut when second at Wetherby in October. Failed to build on that after but a totally different proposition sent chasing/handicapping when successful at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago. Up 5 lb but there should be more to come.
|
Built up a good strike rate for this yard, gaining fourth success over fences at Uttoxeter a year ago. Ran badly on his return at Taunton in March and needed to see more at Chepstow a month later to seriously consider him.
|
Back in the groove when landing handicap chases at Uttoxeter and this C&D in July. Ended 2023 in pretty tame fashion fitted in headgear, however, and little encouragement both starts this term.
|
Put a couple of poor efforts behind him when landing a 6-runner contest from the front at Fakenham (24.2f, soft) in November. Quickly back into his shell since and others more reliable.
|
Has been given a chance by the handicapper (now 13 lb below last winning mark), but he's no battler and he may just need this on first start since October.
|
Won at Huntingdon around this time last year and held form pretty well thereafter for all his attitude and jumping is questionable. Visor back on and he's been eased 2 lb.
|
Didn't go on as hoped in bumpers after a winning debut but made second hurdles start a winning one at Fontwell in October. Disappointing effort at Fontwell last month but in good hands as he goes chasing.
|
Got off the mark for his current yard in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell last month. Not in quite the same form next time and lot depends on how he jumps back over fences (pulled up both previous starts).
|
Winner at Huntingdon and Stratford last summer. Freshened up after couple of below-par runs in the autumn and last month's return wasn't devoid of promise. Cheekpieces back on and he's one to consider.
|
Prone to errors but doubled his chase tally at Southwell (20.4f, good) in April, with the runner-up scoring next time. Was closing when making a bad mistake 4 out at Newton Abbot on his latest outing, so he's capable if on a "going" day with visor back on.
|
Scored at Ffos Las (2m) over a year ago and having dropped a fair way in the weights, he offered a lot more when fourth at Stratford 3 weeks ago. That now makes him of interest.

Forecasts
Cape Vidal (9/2), Hardy Boy (5/1), Duke Of Luckley (11/2), Bob Bob Ricard (6/1), Le Cameleon (17/2), No No Maestro (9/1), Chess Player (10/1), You Say Nothing (11/1), Pozo Emery (12/1), Barton Knoll (20/1), Judge Earle (28/1), Jony Max (50/1), Defan (150/1)
BOB BOB RICARD is built for chasing and he elevated his form at the first try over fences when successful at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago. With the promise of more to come, he's the one to be with, for all You Say Nothing lurks on a very dangerous mark at the foot of the weights having hinted at a revival last time. Chess Player is also considered with cheekpieces back on.
