Verdict

VAUBAN, a useful and progressive performer on the Flat in France, looks a fascinating recruit to hurdling for his top yard, so he's fancied to make a successful debut. Pied Piper and Wild Dollar are also interesting on this switch to jumping, particularly the former, who was sold out of John & Thady Gosden's stable for 225,000 gns in October.

  1. VAUBAN (FR)
  2. PIED PIPER
  3. WILD DOLLAR (IRE)
