Doctor Blue
A quartet to view positively with DOCTOR BLUE just about the most persuasive option on the back of a cracking second in a Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham on hurdles debut 4 weeks ago, for all the fitting of a tongue tie sounds a slight note of caution. Idaho Sun was superior to the selection in bumpers and made a winning start in this sphere, while Red Oak has joined an excellent stable.

Heavily backed and overcame a troubled passage to make a winning bumper debut at Taunton a year ago. Similar form in defeat next 2 starts and already a much better hurdler, running to a high figure when second pitched into Grade 2 company at Cheltenham a month ago.

Stoutly bred sort made a winning start in a Newton Abbot bumper and improved when following up at Windsor in January. Progressed again when sixth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, doing all his best work at the finish and he landed the odds without too much issue on last month's hurdles bow.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFontwell Park2m 1f 162yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/12Cheltenham2m 87yGood to SoftBumper6/17Windsor2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Bumper1/10Newton Abbot2m 167yHeavy (Soft in places)Bumper1/10- 3Red OakJ: Sean BowenT: James Owen722Age 56/15/111/2

Sister to useful hurdler/smart chase winner One For Rosie and made a successful start to career in bumper at Carlisle. Respectable efforts at a higher level after and sure to leave level of opening fourth in this sphere well behind her.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWorcester2mGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/8Aintree2m 209yGood to Soft (Good in places)Bumper10/20Market Rasen2m 125yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper4/10Carlisle2m 1f 33yGood (Good to Soft in places)Bumper1/11
