Bob poised to get off mark

EDWARD O’GRADY, who has his horses in rude health right now, can provide us with a winning nap in the shape of Rigour Back Bob in the Adare Maiden Hurdle at Limerick this afternoon.

Successful in a bumper at Ballinrobe in May, the selection made his debut over flights at Cork last month.

At no stage of that contest was there any real possibility of him delivering but it was, nevertheless, a display which promised of better to come.
