Verdict
Nollyador made his hurdling debut in decent company at Aintree and was in contention for a long way. He will improve on that but ISSUING AUTHORITY threw away a victory at Hereford when running green in the closing stages. This better ground may well suit so he is taken to recoup losses. Storminhome will have learned plenty from his second at Leicester while Dj Pete showed promise in bumpers, despite racing keenly.
