In depth
Verdict
Wings Of Icarus has already won a point-to-point and a bumper and is an interesting recruit to hurdling for the David Pipe team. High On A Hill has won four times on the Flat and looks the type to do well at the winter game, while No Loose Change showed promise when fourth at Wincanton and looks the pick of Paul Nicholls' pair ahead of Egypt Mill Spirit. Off The Ground appears to be improving and Ballyrock has plenty of scope, along with Ludlow third Hawk Run. ONE TERM looks very much to follow now tackling hurdles, however, having won a Listed bumper at Cheltenham last time and AP McCoy has been keen to keep the partnership intact.
