Boston Bob booked for fences debut

One of Ireland’s brightest prospects Boston Bob makes his eagerly-awaited debut over fences in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Beginners Chase at Navan tomorrow.

The seven-year-old was hugely impressive on his first three starts over hurdles for champion trainer Willie Mullins last season but suffered his first reverse when beaten by the ill-fated Brindisi Breeze in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham.
