Formscan - After winning well at Ffos Las, there is no doubt that BOOSTER BOB was disappointing when only third at Warwick last time. However, that was probably a really strong race, given the winner subsequently finished runner-up in a Listed contest, and Olly Murphy's charge is worth another chance. Only four go to post but this is competitive, with Ayr winner Doyen Du Bar and the consistent Inedit Star in opposition. Ballee is also interesting going second time up after wind surgery on his chase bow.
