Longer trip likely to suit Bobs Pride

DERMOT WELD’S Bobs Pride can provide the answer to the Group Three P W McGrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown tomorrow.

The well-regarded son of Marju, beaten on his debut at the Galway Festival as a two-year-old, made an excellent reappearance at the Curragh last month.

He went through the soft ground really well, battling on strongly in the closing stages to prove too good for Shalapour and subsequent winner, Deyrnia.
