NELLS SON, a dual bumper winner, landed a Grade 2 hurdle at Kelso in March before a fair run in the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree. He looks a classy recruit to chasing and can concede the weight. Corrieben Reiver has also won two bumpers and scored twice over hurdles but is bred to be a chaser while Since Day One won four times over timber last winter including a Class 2 handicap at Newcastle. Irish raider Peaceful Sunday landed a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle in February and wasn't right when pulled up in a much stronger race at Punchestown in April.
