National Hunt racing makes a belated reappearance at Gosforth Park following a couple of abandonments, with the ground expected to be riding predominately soft. 2018 could well begin with a winner in the familiar black & white stripes of locally based owner David Armstrong, courtesy of DONNA'S DELIGHT. This grand stamp of a horse screams future chaser at the most casual of observers, but he's also a progressive type over hurdles, and was a shade unfortunate when just edged out by Uncle Alastair on similar ground at Ayr (2m4f+) immediately prior to Christmas. He should be fine over this trip in a lesser race (weakened in the French Furze over C&D in December), and realistically only has Bob Mahler to beat. The Warren Greatrex trained runner is fully respected, but the suspicion is that Donna's Delight will hold all of the aces.
