Experience under Rules is thin on the ground in this so the market may prove the best guide. Du Destin is the first foal to race of a fair hurdler in France but his stable also run Burrows Edge, who has point-to-point experience. Bigdeal should have a future and so should Irish Prince, who cost 70,000 euros and is a half-brother to Palmoma Blue who was second in the Champion Bumper at Punchestown in April. SAVANNA ROAR is a full brother to winning hurdler/chaser Always Lion, who won a bumper on his racecourse debut. Ben Pauling does well in this sphere so he gets a tentative vote.
