In depth

Verdict

DONT HESITATE hasn't run since dead-heating for a Grade 3 bumper in France in March of last year but has been found what looks an easy opportunity and can start making up for lost time. Light Of My Life showed a bit of potential in bumpers and was in touch when slipping up on her hurdling debut at Tramore. Inner Knowing never won on the Flat and hasn't run for a year while Lucky Phil started off with a reasonable run in a Killarney bumper but ran poorly on softer ground at Galway.
