Verdict

French recruit MISTERDOC won a bumper and showed enough in a newcomers race at Auteuil to think he can win a British juvenile, particularly with the prospect of more to come given the yard he's joined. Brave Guest looks a solid rival, while Senator and Thewoodcorner are likely improvers.

4	Modest form in bumpers, winning at Vittel in August. 9/1, length second of 14 to Mon Marcel in newcomers hurdle at Auteuil in October, has since left M. Seror and bred to do better over hurdles, there should be plenty more to come. 1st Pick 4 Misterdoc (Fr) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	63%

2	Poor maiden on the Flat for Jack Channon but made a promising start to his hurdles career, much improved from his hurdling bow when second in a 9-runner juvenile at Kempton (16f, good) last month. Likely to have been placed again but for an unseat 3 out and he should be in the mix. 2nd Pick 2 Brave Guest (Ire) Jockey: Marc Goldstein Trainer: Sheena West J: Marc Goldstein T: Sheena West	99	-	-	-	7%

6	Fair form when third both outings on the Flat in France. Changed hands for €140,000 last summer. Joined a good stable and showed plenty to work on when third of 8 at Kempton 17 days ago. Expected to build on that. 3rd Pick 6 Senator (Fr) Jockey: Gavin Sheehan Trainer: Jamie Snowden J: Gavin Sheehan T: Jamie Snowden	95	-	-	-	20%
