This represents a good opportunity for BOBBY KENNEDY to finally add to the Bath handicap he landed back in May 2021. The 5-y-o has admittedly proved rather hit-and-miss since, but his latest C&D second was a solid effort in the context of this race and he is very appealing off the same mark with Oisin Murphy again in the hot-seat. Timewave and Bletchley Storm were both below par last time but merit respect nonetheless, while Delvey is also shortlisted.
