Beat one rival on debut and tailed off next time. Looks vulnerable under a penalty.
Has been well beaten at big prices on both starts to date. It is difficult to see him finding the improvement necessary to figure.
Showed improved form to finish second here last time and distant third has won since. Yard do well in this class of event and took this twelve months ago.
€20,000 purchase for powerful connections. Fist foal of a dam who is related to three winners including the useful chaser Saints and Sinners. Yard do well in bumpers around here and took this two years ago.
Form of debut third difficult to evaluate but no doubting he performed better than the market expected. Stable have had just one bumper winner from 69 runners over the past five seasons and are without a winner under rules since October.
Ran freely when a staying on second on debut. The form is difficult to evaluate but he probably does not have much to find to be involved.
Winner of an Irish point-to-point in a good time. The form was boosted when the third won subsequently. Stable does not have a particularly good strike rate in bumpers.
Bought for 70,000GBP following an easy win in an Irish point-to-point. The form of that race has worked out well with the second and third both subsequent winners. Very interesting for a yard with a 30% strike rate in bumpers here. Yard won this in 2014 with a similar sort.
Pulled up behind Templenaboe in Ireland and well beaten in similar grade on latest start.
Forecasts
Donna's Delight (6/5), Hello Fellas (4/1), Thomas Do (4/1), Templenaboe (7/1), Notnow Seamus (10/1), Innisfree Lad (12/1), Suggestion (28/1), Trongate (33/1), Arctic Vodka (50/1)
There are some interesting newcomers in this lineup but preference is for the proven form of DONNA'S DELIGHT. An excellent staying on second last time shows he has come on since his debut. With conditions putting a premium on fitness he is selected ahead of Hello Fellas and Thomas Do who both represent yards that have also landed this race previously.
1. Donna's Delight
2. Thomas Do
3. Hello Fellas
