RAFFLES WONDER has had issues with his refusal to settle over hurdles but he showed more when third at Newcastle last time and he's potentially thrown in based on his bumper exploits, so he's preferred to This Is Bob, who also took a step forward last time. Brian's Jet is more exposed but should give his running.
