FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A first time hood might have the desired effect on KING BOB. A real eye-catcher when coming from off the pace to finish a never nearer third at Punchestown on New Year's Eve, he looks well-capable of winning a contest of this standard, racing off a mark of just 76. Well-supported when successful on her handicap debut at Navan last month, Westandtogether is now dropped in trip and it remains to be seen whether this will suit. Narrowly denied at Limerick over Christmas, Might Be The One should give a good account of herself with Darragh O'Keeffe aboard, while others of interest are Targa Flavio, a beaten favourite when last seen at Fairyhouse in November, and handicap debutant Deise Crystal, representing the connections who won this race 12-months ago.
