In depth
Verdict
No Trouble, a six-times winner on the Flat, has placed a couple of times over hurdles this year while fellow Irish raider Gamigin won a claimer over 1m4f at Sligo in June. Nechako has already placed twice around here but was a length behind stablemate Grand Soufle last month. RICH DREAM was lightly raced on the Flat but did win as a two-year old and has placed over 1m4f this year. This is not an overly-competitive start to his hurdling career.
