Not too many performers transfer from the Irish champion trainer to the English equivalent but that's what happened to DON'T TURN BACH. However, despite landing a couple of bumpers for Willie Mullins, he's failed to add to his tally since crossing the Irish Sea. He still sets the standard though on his overall profile and is afforded another chance. Instabella is fascinating simply because the form of her sole bumper outing - a win at Cheltenham - saw her outpoint the likes of Sparky May and Semi Colon. She fell on her hurdling debut when already beaten but remains of interest. This looks a solid starting point for Eastlake who's shown enough in bumpers to indicate he has a future.
