Made a promising debut, scoring with a bit in hand as a 5 1/2l winner in a bumper at Hereford. Effective at 2m on good ground; a nice type, though defying a penalty is never easy in bumpers.
Half-brother to My Girl Katie, won three times in point to point races at 2m 4f and 3m and twice in chases at 3m 2f and 3m 3f. A winner at 10-1 in a NH flat race at Hereford over 2m (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Ma Wang Des Bois by 6l.

Verdict
Smile John Boy looked a nice prospect when winning one of these on his Hereford debut, but this is tougher now he's got the penalty to contend with and slight preference is for RISKY OBSESSION. Dan Skelton's inmate won a point-to-point earlier in the year and should be ready to go on his Rules debut given his powerful connections. Midnight Doyen is also noted.
Expert View Verdict
RISKY OBSESSION makes plenty of appeal on debut for the Skeltons, having created a good impression when winning a maiden point back in April. The form has been upheld under rules by the runner-up and the 7lb he receives from Hereford bumper winner Smile John Boy could prove telling. The last-named did look good on debut and must be respected, while the returning Eternity Rose could easily leave behind last season's modest debut.
