Course specialist BETTER BACK BOB catches the eye in a race that isn't too difficult to whittle down to just a handful of serious contenders. The Trigger (ran at Kilbeggan yesterday) is well treated back over hurdles and willbe a threat if he betters his previous course efforts, while Captains And Kings is a tough cookie when he is in the right frame of mind and rates as good value to make the frame.
