NICEANDEASY is a half-brother to winning hurdler Princely Conn and made an impressive racecourse debut in a Newcastle bumper in March. A slight injury forced him to miss a Grade 2 at Aintree later but he's obviously held in some regard and may have too much speed for point-to-point converts Saint Freule, Jeu De Mots and Allmyown. Only Orvieto may be better for this run, her first in more than a year.
