KATS BOB duly returned to form when justifying support in a C&D apprentice handicap under Archie Young last week, for which he escapes a penalty. The 6-y-o will prove a very tough nut to crack if in a similar mood. Fellow last-time-out winner Dandys Derriere rates the main danger, while Cliffcake is also shortlisted.
