Verdict

Paul Nicholls could hold the key to this and course bumper winner DON'T TELL SU is narrowly preferred to Byorderofthecourt, who has a long absence to overcome. Micro Millions and Minella Missile are a couple of other interesting hurdling newcomers.

  1. DON'T TELL SU (IRE)
  2. BYORDEROFTHECOURT (IRE)
