Bold Gesture has ability but is not proving easy to catch right. Think Positive catches the eye making his hurdling debut for the champion trainer but is clearly not a stable star and both of the aforementioned are taken on with DUNBAR. The French-bred gelding has assembled a really consistent form sequence in maiden hurdle company and seems sure to be in the shake-up again. Trip and ground are fine for the Doyle inmate. Roney has mixed hurdles and fences on recent starts, proving competent under both disciplines, and should contend at the business end in receipt of both the sex allowance and Sean O'Keeffe's 7lb claim.
