Hey Buddy

11/2

€42,000 Vadamos gelding. Closely related to poor 2m hurdle winner Marshella. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler (winner around 2m) Cinders And Ashes. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

13/2

Mahler gelding. Dam, poor maiden hurdler, sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m-2¾m winner) Leave At Dawn out of hurdle/chase winner up to 2½m Hannigan's Lodger. Hey Buddy possibly the stable first string on jockey bookings but the betting will provide more clues.

Form:

8/1

Kayf Tara gelding. Brother to dual bumper winner/fair 2m hurdle winner Let It Rain, and half-brother to fair chaser Poniente. Makes some paper appeal and interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Liam Mera Kai

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex

4/1

£32,000 Bande gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner in France Magic Dariya. The stable was once a regular source of bumper winners but the strike-rate has dropped in recent years.

Forecasts

Dutch Corner (3/1), Liam Mera Kai (4/1), Hey Buddy (11/2), I'malrightwithme (13/2), Our Bobby Dazzler (13/2), Not At That Price (8/1), Pioneer Pete (14/1), North Nestor (14/1), Queens Ginger (20/1), Pic N Mix (20/1), Java Jackie (80/1), She's A Woman (125/1)

Dan Skelton has sent out 24 bumper winners this season so Yorkhill's brother DUTCH CORNER gets the tentative vote in this newcomers bumper, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Hey Buddy, the mount of Jonathan Burke from the Fergal O'Brien pair, and Tom Weston's North Nestor are other likely types on paper before any market clues are known.
