Dancing Doris was due to make her hurdling debut at Warwick yesterday and, in her likely absence, this looks a good opportunity for BUCKO’S BOY to get his career back on track, though his tendency to jump left is a concern on this tight course. Tossapenny ran well at Hereford until a lack of condition told and he should strip fitter here so looks a threat.
