Thrilling finish to Grade 3 Novice
The Buck House Novice Chase provided a thrilling finish with the Paddy Flood ridden Rare Bob and Ruby Walsh aboard Trafford Lad battling it out all the way to the line where the pair got very close in the closing stages. Dessie Hughes' Rare Bob just getting up to pass the judge by the minimum of margins. Thu 16th Oct
nobody wanted to go ‘on' today but Rare Bob has plenty of ability and has run some very good races making the running in the past. Three miles is really his trip but to win over 2m5f was good and while we'll wait to see what the handicapper does next, his owners would love to run at Cheltenham so he could go for the Ryanair Chase.
D T Hughes
He is entered in a couple of races at Cheltenham but that is probably out now. He has plenty of options at home. Novices have a good record in the Irish National so we could look at that. There is also a good novice race at Punchestown. He seems to handle any ground, he certainly wouldn't mind good ground. (EM)
D T Hughes
He is a nice horse, we got him at the Derby Sale as a three-year-old. I've had some of his family, he was a big raw horse for two years but he's filled out now. He showed plenty of pace for a big horse and he battled well. He looks like a chaser and he'll probably go hurdling now.
D T Hughes
That was a good performance, he stays well and jumps well. He'll take his chance in the P.J. Moriarty Chase next.
