Horaces Pearl (5/6), Pierrot Jaguen (7/4), Lud'or (13/2), Dyno Dave (22/1), Lightning Maqueen (80/1)
A fascinating clash between highly promising novices PIERROT JAGUEN and Horaces Pearl. The latter proved to be one of the best bumper performers around last term and his hurdles debut success was brimming with promise. However, preference is for Pierrot Jaguen, who looked good at Lingfield and while it's likely that he will really come into his own over fences in due course, he nevertheless looks capable of making his mark in this sphere in the meantime. Lud'or can also make his presence felt.
