In depth
Verdict
Inishbiggle is bred for jumping and wouldn’t need to be anything special to figure on debut. But I’M SO BUSY showed good ability for Jessica Harrington in Ireland a switch to Richard Newland is hardly a negative. Aronius is probably better than he’s shown so far and Nickelsonthedime has placed in both starts over timber having won twice between the flags. Tallow For Coal is also a former points winner and Here Comes Mccoy has won a bumper and was a fair fourth on his hurdles debut here seven weeks ago.
