Jumps Profile 13/14 - Bob's Worth


Bob’s Worth 8 b g Bob Back – Fashioista (Bob, Cliff, Cod, Martin, Neil Peej, Steve, Tony)
Last Year’s Gold Cup winner has only been beaten 3 times in his 12 starts under rules, and will be a major player in all the top staying events again this year. How many times we will see though remains open to question as Nicky Henderson has already ruled out the King George and Hennessey, and he only ran twice last season. He made his debut at Newbury in November where he put up a super performance in the 3m2f Hennessey handicap chase , beating Tidal Bay 3 ¼ l  , in receipt of 6lb. Sadly as is the case with many top horses from top yards, we did not see him again until Cheltenham where he won the Gold Cup by an impressive 7l from Sir Des Champs. He will be very hard to beat again when he runs and lets hope it’s a couple of times more than last season.
