Winning pointer who built on an encouraging Rules debut (in a course bumper) when comfortably landing a novice hurdle at Sedgefield 15 days ago. Solid claims under a penalty.
|
Fairly useful 12f winner on Flat for Michael Dods. Promise initially over hurdles earlier this year but has failed to complete the last twice (reportedly broke blood vessel penultimate outing).
|
Shaped with promise in bumpers and a novice hurdle for Oliver Sherwood and upped his form on his first go for this yard when sixth at Kelso on return. Could progress further.
|
€33,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding who fell on his sole start in a point and was down the field in a novice hurdle at Wetherby on Rules debut. Likely to struggle once more.
|
Runner-up on each of 3 completed starts in Irish points and looked to have the race sewn up before being collared late in a bumper at Carlisle on Rules debut. Big player with headgear on.
|
Bred to do better at some point but hard to make any sort of case for based on what he's done over hurdles.
|
Bred to need time and distance and has shaped in kind so far, albeit making a bigger impact when third in a novice at Hexham last time. Needs another step forward.
|
Runner-up on first of two goes in bumpers but never figured in a C&D novice hurdle last time, looking more one for the longer term.
|
Hinted at ability in an AW bumpers at this course 2 years ago but hasn't been since and has a lot of improvement to find on hurdling bow.
|
Fairly useful sort on the Flat, scoring in a minor event at this course (tapeta) when last seen 12 months ago. Likely to be well schooled, so not without a chance if he's fully tuned up.
|
No show in various disciplines.
|
No better than fifth in points/bumpers in Ireland and had a quiet stable/hurdling debut in novice at Carlisle 20 days ago. More of a handicap type.
|
Little impact in a couple of bumpers and seems unlikely to feature now switched to hurdling.
|
Fair winner on Flat in France in 2019 but yet to make a serious impact over hurdles, so likely to be of more interest in handicaps on the back of this.

HERE WE HAVE IT has experience over obstacles (ex-pointer) and showed a good chunk of ability when runner-up at Carlisle on Rules debut, so he's capable of going one better now switched to hurdling with cheekpieces and a tongue strap fitted. Recent Sedgefield scorer Tommy's Oscar looks the biggest danger ahead of Donladd.
