FormscanBy Mark Nunan - THE SHORT GO faces some rivals with smart bumper form but may be able to make his jumping experience tell. The Fame and Glory gelding was third on debut at Naas just before Christmas and then bumped into Albert Bartlett winner The Nice Guy when second at the same venue the following month. He was keen that day and the drop back from 2m3f may suit him on this seasonal debut. The Model Kingdom was unbeaten in three mares’ bumpers, including Listed and Grade 3 contests, last term and is a nice prospect for hurdling. She was last seen finishing second in a Flat maiden at Roscommon in May. No Risk No Fun has won bumpers at Wexford and Galway in good style and his trainer has sent out plenty of winners already at the Harvest Festival. Neigh Botha joined Gordon Elliott after winning at Musselburgh in February and is another hurdling debutant to note.
