Verdict
The first foal of a winning hurdler in France, JACOBIN is the choice of Harry Cobden ahead of Mount Gay Run, whose dam won a bumper and two hurdle races. I See The Sea has point-to-point experience while Catch Him Derry, Rocking Man and The Cypriot are related to winners but King Roly is bred for further.
