Bois Des Aigles showed promise on his hurdling debut at Taunton but was also entered at Newbury yesterday. QUICK DECISSON is the default selection, therefore, despite appearing over timber for the first time. Philip Hobbs' five-year-old has won a bumper, though his yard hasn't been in great form lately. Phantom Prince's fourth at Newbury was a decent effort and a little improvement should see him in the mix but River Dancing and Voltchesko may need more time.
