Verdict

The vote goes to PADDY O'MAHLER, who showed plenty in bumpers and can be expected to step up on his form in novice hurdles now faced with a stiffer test and switched to handicap company. Fellow handicap debutant Sprucefrontiers remains of interest, despite failing to build on his Rules debut promise when a well-held fourth at Chepstow, and the progressive Shewearsthewellies is also accorded respect. Delgany Bobby Blue is open to improvement and he is another for the shortlist.

  1. PADDY O'MAHLER (IRE)
  2. SPRUCEFRONTIERS (IRE)
  3. SHEWEARSTHEWELLIES (IRE)
