Verdict

The ones with experience don't set an exacting standard and O'TOOLE looks a fascinating contender now sent hurdling. He was one of the best bumper horses around last season and he could take high rank amongst this season's novice hurdlers. Free Nelson sets the standard and has the potential for better still, so is feared most, ahead of newcomer Helisone, who needs monitoring in the market.

  1. O'TOOLE (IRE)
