Well ridden to make a winning bumper debut at Newcastle (14.3f) last December. Disappointed next time but offered something to work on when fifth on hurdles bow at Hexham on return.
|
No show in bumper/maiden hurdle. Has left Bryan F. Murphy.
|
Won sole start in Irish points and followed up in impressive fashion in a Kelso bumper 33 days ago, despite pulling hard. Makes hurdling debut in very winnable race, so needs taking seriously.
|
Took a sizeable step forward from hurdling bow when excellent second of 12 in 16.8f novice at Sedgefield (good to soft) 16 days ago, edged out only late on. Must enter calculations.
|
Modest in bumpers and was well held on Kelso hurdles bow 47 days ago.
|
Fair form when runner-up in a Ffos Las bumper (15.8f) in May. Changed hands for £80,000 thereafter but no impact all 3 starts for Henry Hogarth, including in a first-time tongue tie last time.
|
Irish point winner at third attempt who ran to a fair level when third on 2m4f Carlisle hurdle bow last month, displaying a likeable attitude. Well in the mix with a repeat.
|
Modest maiden stayer on the level. Showed a bit when fourth on Wetherby hurdles debut in October, but failed to repeat that effort there a month later.
|
Winner of 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers in 2019. Failed to score on the level but found only one too good on Wetherby hurdles debut (2m) a year ago. Off since but good claims if ready to roll.
|
Stratford bumper winner who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when eighth of 11 on Ayr hurdling debut 23 days ago, weakening when mistake last. Probably more one for handicaps later on.
|
Regressive on the Flat but showed a bit tried hurdling when fourth in a Wetherby novice (2m) 15 days ago. Not sure to build on that.
|
Well held in Ayr bumper and pulled on recent hurdles debut there.

Forecasts
Donny Boy (4/9), Fearless Action (7/2), Paddy The Horse (8/1), Andante (11/1), Rory And Me (12/1), Bottle Hill (40/1), Goast Dancer (50/1), Thomas Cranmer (66/1), Scots Poet (80/1), Landacre Bridge (100/1), Phoenix Strike (125/1), Mary's Glance (300/1)
DONNY BOY made an impressive winning bumper debut at Kelso last month, despite racing freely, so he makes plenty of appeal now going hurdling in a very winnable race. Paddy The Horse, Fearless Action and Rory And Me look the other key players.
- DONNY BOY (IRE)
- PADDY THE HORSE (IRE)
- FEARLESS ACTION (IRE)
