Spades Are Trumps is the choice of his leading owner's retained jockey and has to be respected after a solid hurdling debut, but he will do well to cope with the challenge of PALOMA BLUE, a useful bumper performer who will surely step up on his satisfactory initial effort over timber. The likes of State Of Nirvana. Nearly Famous, Mount Pelier and Athenean have prospects and are worth keeping an eye on.
