Verdict

HUGOS NEW HORSE sets a clear standard having won 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles, making a successful handicap debut at Sandown on his latest outing. He can land the hat-trick back at this level, with hurdling-debutant Buckhorn Rocco the one who can give him most to think about. Sassified completes the shortlist.
