        mistake and unseated rider 1st

        In depth

        Verdict

        My Will could be another potential stable star and should land this from Manoram and Konker. Paul Nicholls thinks the world of this gelding who has quickly settled into chasing after having just one successful hurdles campaign. No doubt he will be earmarked for a crack at the festival and he can gain valuable course experience and will be a tough nut to crack. Manoram is a solid jumper, and although quite well exposed, should be the one to give the selection most to do. Konker was in need of his recent spin over hurdles and should put up a better display this afternoon. Ardashir hails from a stable in hot form and this decent hurdler is surely much better than he showed on his recent chasing debut. This could turn out to be a pretty decent event, but My Will should easily be capable of landing first prize.
