    Verdict

    Calivigny and Delusionofgrandeur are useful northern hurdlers but O O SEVEN sets the most exacting of standards after being the only one to bustle up the potentially outstanding Yorkhill in the Grade 1 Tolworth Hurdle at Sandown. That was a really smart effort and he will have no problems with this quicker ground and really should win with a degree of comfort. Unbeaten under Rules, Fagan remains an unknown quantity at present but commands immediate respect as a raider from the relentlessly improving Gordon Elliott operation.
