Verdict
Hobb's Delight is the only one with hurdling experience and he was tailed of when third at Ffos Las. Harry Cobden prefers bumper winner Don't Tell Su to Byorderofthecourt but many of the Nicholls horses have, unusually, been needing a run. MICRO MILLIONS showed a decent turn of foot to win between the flags at Rathcannon in the spring so gets the nod over Minella Missile and Zmiinyi, who could also be useful recruits from the point-to-point circuit.
