Verdict

This could go the way of OUR GUIDE, who made a successful start in a Galway bumper and has since joined a trainer capable of readying a hurdling newcomer. He gets the vote ahead of Pioneer Pete, who sets the standard of those with previous experience in this sphere, while King Esoteric is one to note for his leading yard.

9	Placed in a pair of bumpers and fair form when making the frame first 3 starts over hurdles. Lesser effort when third of 6 in novice at Catterick (19f, good) on New Year's Day, but no surprise to see him bounce back following a break. 2nd Pick 9 Pioneer Pete Jockey: Jonjo O'neill Jr. Trainer: Jonjo & A.J.

15	Fair form when mid-field in newcomers race at Saint-Cloud on the Flat last spring. After 10 months off/left Andre Fabre, found heavy ground too much when pulled up at Doncaster on hurdling debut in February, so he could fare better under less testing conditions. 3rd Pick 15 King Esoteric Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	92	-	-	-	12%
