The solid and consistent A FEW BOB SHORT can finally get off the mark for connections at the eighth attempt following not being out of the first three on his last five starts including beaten a neck on his last start over this trip at Tramore last month. Course winner, Highly Toxic and the improving Cacique Royale can prove to be the biggest dangers to the selection.
