Verdict
DONNYTWOBUCKETS was well backed in a competitive bumper at Newbury on debut and ran well until lack of condition told. He’s a half-brother to useful hurdler Us And Them and will be expected to pay his way so might have more scope than Wincanton third Dandolo Du Gite and Gwalia, who has only found one too good at Taunton and Chepstow this season. Go Forrit numbers stayer Lie Forrit among his winning relatives so may find this too short on debut.
