Little Big Kev and Idas Boy are both declared at Doncaster tomorrow.  Kev is declared in the two and half mile maiden hurdle run at 1.30pm.  He showed promise on his hurdling debut at Kempton recently and hopefully will have come on for the experience.  Ultimately he will want further and a chase fence to be seen at his best.  We look forward to him continuing to progress and Sam Twiston-Davies takes the ride.

Idas Boy carries top weight in the three mile handicap hurdle run at 3.55pm.  This is very much a prep run for him for the Grand National as he has been off the course for quite a while.  However it will be interesting to see how he gets on reverting back to hurdles and he will be wearing his usual cheekpieces.  Harry Bannister takes the ride and will hopefully ride him in the National should everything go to plan.  The good to soft ground should suit both runners and we will know plenty more after their runs.

Hidden Target (pictured upsides Little Big Kev) is declared in the bumper at Huntingdon on Sunday run at 5.02pm.  A fine chasing type, this son of Sans Frontieres has taken a while to mature but has been pleasing at home and will hopefully show promise for his patient owners.  As ever, this is a competitive event with several of the opposition having shown promise in similar events.  Finn Lambert takes the ride and we look forward to his debut.
