Hey Buddy⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien

4/7

€42,000 Vadamos gelding. Closely related to poor 2m hurdle winner Marshella from the family of smart hurdler (winner around 2m) Cinders And Ashes. 11/2, showed a bit in Warwick bumper on debut 6 weeks ago, severely lacking a turn of foot when it required one. Entitled to improve.

Luckie Devil⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards

10/3

€13,000 half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Luckie Seven. Bred to do better (at longer trips) over jumps but showed ability first time up in Newcastle bumper (4/1) in March, travelling just about best of all. Obvious claims.

Form: 2-

Son Of Peace

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: N Wilson

25/1

4,000 gns 3-y-o, Sea The Stars colt. Half-brother to numerous winners on Flat, including Epsom Oaks winner Soul Sister. Dam smart 7.5f (2-y-o)-1¼m winner. Certainly jumps off the page for one starting out in a bumper.

LUCKIE DEVIL shaped well first time up at Newcastle in March and is preferred to Hey Buddy. Son of Peace is one of the best-bred bumper runners you'll find, as a half-brother to an Oaks winner, so it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting having been sold for just 4,000 gns last year.
