Willie Mullins throws four darts at the Grade 1 Deloitte Novice Hurdle and I’m on Nichols Canyon, who got rid of me at the third at Leopardstown on his latest appearance.
He won at Fairyhouse and Cork prior to that, is a fair horse in his own right and will like the two and quarter miles.
McKinley keeps going forward, but Sempre Medici has to improve his jumping, although possessing a solid engine.
But if I had a choice it would be Alvisio Ville, who is owned by J P McManus and will be ridden by Tony McCoy.
I know he has to improve on the bare form of his win in a maiden at Leopardstown, but is a horse I like and he is doing everything easily at home.
