The solid and consistent EIGHT AND BOB can land the spoils here handling a 9lb rise in the weights here to build on an impressive CV of handicap and novice hurdle displays. The Gordon Elliott pair of The Big Lense and the Gigginstown House Stud-owned Boot Camp claim respect given the yard have provided Squouateur to win this race in 2016, with Carrig Cathal and Sire Du Berlais hitting the frame in the last two seasons. The Jessica Harrington-trained Polished Steel won a Thurles maiden hurdle over 2m earlier this month in good style and holds strong place claims back in handicap company.
