Risky Obsession
RISKY OBSESSION looked a most promising sort when readily accounting for Smile John Boy at Warwick and looks sure to go on to better things now stepping up in grade. No Walkover proved his Chepstow scramble hadn't done him full justice when running out a clear-cut winner under a penalty at Aintree and is much respected bidding for a hat-trick, with Trojan Tale another fascinating contender having created a fine impression first time up at Wincanton.

£190,000 4-y-o, No Risk At All gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Ask Paddington. Won sole start in Irish points and looked an excellent prospect when following up in 9-runner bumper at Warwick (2m) 38 days ago.

Runner-up in Irish point and impressed with the way he travelled when going one better in a Chepstow bumper in November, edging ahead again near finish. Wasted no time proving that did him no justice when following up under a penalty at Aintree and has to be taken seriously up in grade.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAintree2m 209yGood to SoftBumper1/8Chepstow2m 16ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Bumper1/11- 10Trojan TaleJ: Harry CobdenT: Dan Horsford1Age 55/15/111/2

Hillstar gelding. Closely related to a winner, and half-brother to 4 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Flash The Steel. Looked a useful prospect when impressive winner of 10-runner bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) on debut 23 days ago. Interesting contender up in grade.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWincanton1m 7f 50yHeavy (Soft in places)Bumper1/10- 9Smile John BoyJ: Kielan WoodsT: Ben Pauling12Age 58/18/115/2

Made a winning debut in taking fashion in 14-runner bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good) on debut in November. No match for the reopposing Risky Obsession under a penalty but can be marked up a touch considering how keen he was for a large part of the race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWarwick2mGood to Soft (Good in places)Bumper2/9Hereford2m 53yGoodBumper1/14- 1A Likeable RogueJ: Brian HughesT: John Dawson41Age 59/19/110/1

Sent off a big price but achieved plenty when a keeping-on fourth in listed company at Cheltenham on debut and didn't need to improve to get off the mark with his sights lowered at Wetherby (2m) next time. Has more on his plate back up in grade but shouldn't be overlooked.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Bumper1/15Cheltenham2m 87ySoftBumper4/13- 3Governors RockJ: James BowenT: Warren Greatrex811Age 59/19/110/1

Improved on debut form to land a weak affair at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) in July. Left Peter John Flood after and improved appreciably when following up at Ballinrobe on sole outing for Mark Fahey since. Subsequently sold for £100,000 and well worth a shot at this level.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBallinrobe2m 24ySoftBumper1/8Wexford2m 150yGoodBumper1/10Bellewstown2m 1f 40yGoodBumper8/14- 4Half HopingJ: James DaviesT: Nick Gifford21Age 59/19/18/1

Made positive start to his career when thwarted only narrowly by No Walkover at Chepstow (16.1f, soft) before going one better with something to spare in 6-runner event at Fontwell (17.7f) 43 days ago.

Harzand gelding who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 8-runner bumper at Wincanton in November. Ran well upped in grade when fourth of 15 in listed event at Ascot subsequently, doing well under the circumstances having raced up with the strong gallop.

€105,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Brother to useful hurdlers Tripoli Flyer and Anyharminasking and looked cut from a similar cloth when making a promising winning debut at Market Rasen (16.6f) in December, asserting final 1f. Better to come.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMarket Rasen2m 125yGood to SoftBumper1/7- 5Not Without DangerJ: Robert DunneT: Samuel Drinkwater2-8Age 540/140/150/1

Masked Marvel gelding who has displayed fair form on all 3 starts to date, albeit looked more wayward than green when 6¼ lengths third of 8 to the reopposing No Walkover at Aintree (17f, good) on most recent outing.
