Bob bounces back in style

Thu 23rd Oct 2008, 16:50

Paul Nolan's yard has hit form in recent weeks and his See U Bob making his seasonal reappearance under Ruby Walsh, landed the Cashel Maiden Hurdle at Thurles today.

The son of Bob Back raced towards the rear before progressing to lead after the second last, staying on well for a three lengths win over Cruising Katie

Nolan himself was absent but was represented by his brother James Nolan who stated "See U Bob works like a good horse at home but we were worried about the ground and his lack of a previous hurdle run."

He added "we bought him after he ran promisingly in a point to point and Ruby (Walsh) said he'd appreciate a stronger gallop and better ground."
