    Verdict

    Paul Nicholls turns the attentions of PROSPECT WELLS to fences and this should be a winning introduction to the larger obstacles for the talented hurdler granted a clear round. The quick ground should suit and he has two stone in hand on hurdles ratings over Suerte Al Salto. The latter has left Paul Nicholls for the new season after a consistent if frustrating career with the Ditcheat handler. It will be interesting to see how he takes to his new discipline having looked far from straightforward over timber. The rest look outclassed with If I Were A Boy nominated for the minor placing after fair recent efforts in lowly grade on the level.
