Bob has taken a decision to go the Cod route on some his string this year, so a number of Bob’s are in his string. This one is a useful handicap hurdler, who has won 6 times from 37 runs, but has a better strike rate over hurdles. Trained by Philip Deegan on the flat, he only won once, a 1m 7f handicap at Leopardstown in September 2017, beating Bobabout 3l . He moved to Willie Mullins in July last year and unseated on his hurdling debut, and got off the mark on his 4^th attempt winning a 2m handicap hurdle at Wexford last October, beating Walkers Point 1 ¾ l, he was then second 3 times, at Cork, Clonmel and Tramore, before winning again at Fairyhouse in January this year, taking a 3m handicap hurdle by 1l from Cher Why Not (received 16lb). He followed up at Fairyhouse in February, winning a 2m 4f handicap hurdle by 7l from Halsafari (received 4lb), then disappointed twice at Fairyhouse and Punchestown, before winning again at Tipperary in June, in a 1m 4f handicap on the flat. He was second in 3 more flat handicaps before returning to hurdles at Gowran Park in October, winning a 3m handicap hurdle by a neck from Bothar Dubh (received 10 lb).  He seems capable of running about every 2 weeks , and should win more races and give Bob some fun
