Tough Bob makes it all

He's on the go for the past four years, he only had a sole success to his name, he was burdened with top-weight and hadn't run since last August but none of that stopped Echo Bob from landing the Michael O'Murchadha Memorial Novice Handicap Hurdle at Wexford.

Andrew Lynch 's (got a 2 day ban for careless riding) mount made all in the testing conditions but when Galzig arrived with her challenge travelling well she looked a potent threat.

Lynch and the successful Bob's Return gelding were having none of it though and kept on tenaciously on the run-in, drifted a bit to his left, to win by three parts of a length.

A steward's enquiry was called but the result stood.
