Here's my thoughts on our six runners today:
[i]14:55, Newbury[/i]
[b]Forlovenormoney:[/b] Won a point in Ireland and started favourite for a Hereford novices' hurdle in November, travelling well but dropping away from 2 out to finish sixth. I am hopeful of a better run today.
[i]15:20, Doncaster[/i]
[b]Our Bomber Harris:[/b] Won a 2m bumper and 2m3f novice hurdle before proving himself a fair sort, ending last season with a fourth off a mark of 132 at Cheltenham in April; was slightly disappointing on his reappearance but better ground should suit him here on his chasing debut.
[i]16:05, Newbury[/i]

Shaped really well at home priory to running nicely enough in third at Newbury on his hurdling debut and would have been a lot closer there had he not blundered three out. But he also ran too free and the important thing with him is to get him to learn to settle and not be so keen. He's a horse I like an awful lot and the better ground will suit, as it was a little bit tacky at Newbury. As for the Triumph, we'll see what happens here first. Looks to have Palawi and Franklino as his main rivals here.

[b]Font:[/b] Won over 2m4f at Haydock back in 2009, but is...
