        Verdict

        Peut Etre Sivola looks the type to do well over fences and following a prep run over hurdles last time out, he is taken to make a winning debut; Noble Billy and Massini Sunset make it to the shortlist. Like father like son, David Pipe has no qualms about putting his inexperienced chasers into handicap company first time out and this French import is fancied to oblige, assuming that the quicker ground suits. Massini Sunset and Noble Billy both have more experience to draw on and both come here on the back of good wins when last seen; however the worry is that both have shown a liking for a more testing surface. Clyffe Hanger made mistakes on his recent debut over fences and can be expected to improve on that effort, whilst Silver Serg has winning course form and can usually be relied on to run his race. High Tech Made is arguably on a tough enough mark for his handicap debut, and so it is Peut Etre Sivola who is given the nod.
