Verdict

BOLEY BOB has been dominant in the pointing field in the last 12 months and can boost his stable's already excellent strike-rate in hunters this season. Fellow hunter newcomer Phantoms Cave also arrives in good form from points and is second choice ahead of last year's third Theoldboggroad.
