MISTER BOB was thriving on the all-weather throughout last summer and if he comes on for his reappearance over C&D, he's taken to resume his progress. Isharah has been running consistently well of late and ought to be in the shake-up providing he's not caught out by the step up in trip. Any market support for Irish raider Wrap Star could prove significant on his UK debut. 1. Mister Bob 2. Isharah 3. Wrap Star
