Three fair novice chasers among a field of four and the progressive Bobayaro looked a useful prospect in defying a 7lb penalty, waited with rather than front running as at Perth last time. He was less than fluent at the first two fences but otherwise jumped well, travelled strongly in behind for most of the way and though he needed to be pushed along fairly vigorously after leading two out he came home a comfortable winner. He is just as effective on a sound surface and should do well in novice company this summer.
