Held in Musselburgh bumper (well backed) and Newcastle novice hurdle (behind Fingal's Hill, lost a shoe and green). Should do better in time.

Maiden who has a fair amount of ability but is lightly raced for his age, fading when back from another 10 months off at Newcastle last month.

Forecasts

Masked Crusader (1/14), Donny Boy (5/4), Fingal's Hill (9/2), Balkalin (8/1), Andre Le Notre (18/1), Jet Legs (25/1), Big Arthur (66/1), The Real Rascal (80/1)

There is more to come from DONNY BOY and he can gain compensation for his mishap in the Premier Novices' Hurdle here last month with victory back down in grade. This probably concerns the three previous winners only, with Masked Crusader looking the main threat over Fingal's Hill.
