In depth
Verdict
After an encouraging debut DON'T TELL THE BOYS gets the vote in this bumper with Timely Decision and Samain looking the dangers. Related to a winning hurdler the selection showed plenty of encouragement when placing on debut in that sphere so with this race looking easier he is the one to beat. Timely Decision will be better over further in time but is bred well enough to win this if going the pace while Samain looks another to consider from a yard that go well in this sphere and with a top jock booked. Esporao has an eye-catching flat pedigree and from a shrewd yard should go well but with experience already gained we like Don't Tell The Boys.
