Making his second start for his current yard, BRUCE GOBBLER fared better than previously over hurdles when fifth of 14 at this course last time and he could still have more to offer back up in trip. He is taken to open his account under Rules, though Lara Kaleo is one to note going handicapping on only her third outing, with Sevenofus completing the shortlist.
