Paul Nicholls looks to have found an easy enough opening to introduce MONSIEUR CO into the hurdling fray and it would be disappointing should this French recruit not make a winning start to his new life here. Black Mischief looks the only serious threat to the Nicholls horse and the recent form of Harry Fry means the Nicholls horse may not get things completely his own way. Dites Rien may come out the best of the remainder.
