Bank on Bob

BOB HALL is fancied to get punters away to the ideal start in the opening Renault Hurdle at Wexford this afternoon.

David Wachman's lightly-raced charge is very much on the upgrade and should prove hard to beat. He was partnered with plenty of confidence by David Casey when getting off the mark at Fairyhouse nine days ago.

The son of Sadler's Wells quickened up in fine style in the closing stages to beat hot-pot Carthalawn half a length and has buckets of scope for improvement.
