Verdict

GOOD BOY BOBBY has been off the track the best part of a year but that's not a major worry given the yard he represents and capable of near-useful form when last seen, he looks the answer on hunter debut. Take All shaped quite well at Cheltenham and though he failed to convince with his attitude under pressure when third at Ludlow, he remains a threat. Major Dundee adds a bit of intrigue to the contest.
