THE MICK PRESTON and Annual Invictus look the pair to concentrate on. The former pulled well clear of the rest when runner-up to a useful one on his Newton Abbot hurdle debut, and edges the vote. Itsnotwhatyouthink showed enough in bumpers to suggest he should have a future in this sphere and he may prove best of the remainder.
