Verdict

RIVIERE D'ETEL showed plenty when runner-up in a listed newcomer's hurdle at Auteuil in September (coming way clear with the winner). She's joined a leading outfit ahead of this assignment and earns the vote to come out on top with progress expected. Persia, a useful performer on the Flat, is interesting now hurdling and feared most, whilst Away To Sea and Zanavi are also worth a second look.

  1. RIVIERE D'ETEL (FR)
  2. PERSIA (IRE)
  3. AWAY TO SEA (FR)
