Boston Bob heading for Galmoy test

Boston Bob is all set to take in the John Mulhern Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran on Thursday as he builds-up to challenge for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at Cheltenham.

The nine-year-old looks like continuing over the smaller obstacles following his smooth victory at Punchestown last month after two consecutive falls over fences.

The World Hurdle is his more likely Festival target, although he also holds entries in the Ryanair Chase and the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.
