Nothing flash in bumpers but improved to get off the mark at second attempt over hurdles in 4-runner introductory event at Wetherby. Similar form when third under a penalty a month later.

Looks like a long-term project, shaping like a stayer on debut before being well held at Wincanton.

Runner-up first 3 starts in bumpers before being beaten on merit in a stronger race at Lingfield. More interesting than most now hurdling.

Forecasts

Lakota Warrior (1/2), Zucayan (5/1), Blenkinsop (6/1), Lord Of Cheshire (12/1), Charming Getaway (18/1), Fortunedefortunata (25/1), Percy Veering (28/1), Come On Gary (33/1), Jack The Farmer (66/1), Cheeky Ricco (66/1), Mac Be Lucky (66/1), Mr Tristar (100/1), Not Long Now (200/1), Martalmix'jac (200/1), Land Of My Delight (250/1)

Verdict

The large majority of these are either limited or long-term projects so Dan Skelton's LAKOTA WARRIOR is fancied to defy a penalty. Zucayan finished runner-up in a trio of bumpers so must command respect, while Lord of Cheshire's pedigree suggests he should be up to making an impact at this level.
