Bob the one to beat in Durkan Memorial

I’m in Navan for four rides this afternoon, and start off on Hold The Line for Pat Shanahan in the opening maiden hurdle.

Willie has Argentino in the race but he’s owned by Gigginstown and so Bryan Cooper is on board. He was bought to try his hand as a juvenile hurdler, but that didn’t work out for him and he missed the second half of last year.

He has worked well and schooled well recently, but I’d be hoping my mount could translate his smart flat form to hurdling, and could run a big race.
