In depth

Verdict

Carry On The Magic didn’t show much in two runs in the spring but Dynamite Kentucky was second on his hurdles bow at Fakenham before slightly disappointing at Uttoxeter. GOOD RISK AT ALL (NAP) won a Listed bumper at Newbury in February and the second, third and fifth have won over hurdles already this season. He looks an exciting prospect and this is a good starting point. Course winner Exmoor Express was progressive in bumpers and can chase him home ahead of the newcomers Mister Marbles and Hardkore.
