Verdict
THAT'S NICE was notably strong in the betting up against a listed bumper winner when scoring in good style on her Warwick hurdle debut and can build on that significant promise and prove too good for Country Mile and Wingmen in a very interesting opener despite the small field.

VerdictWon a soft-ground Huntingdon bumper on Rules debut in April and he looked a useful prospect when a comfortable winner on hurdles debut at Ayr (2m) in October. Duly improved when 3 lengths second in 2m Haydock Grade 2 since, closing when bad mistake last. Definitely more to come.

VerdictDidn't achieve much in bumpers last season but a different proposition switched to hurdles on his reappearance, making all in a 2m Chepstow novice. Harder to dominate this field.- Unnamed Favourite
