Despite penalties the top pair look the most likely with recent hurdle wins to their name. A chance is taken on the less exposed NICEANDEASY who has won both racecourse outings to date with ease. A further win here could see him move to graded company and that is the sort of potential he has. Count Meribel will however provide him his stiffest test to date and impressed here first time out. His experience is an advantage. Aloomomo is potentially open to improvement over hurdles based on his chase form and with Johnson on board he is a danger getting weight from his main rivals.
