Made debut at Auteuil (2m2f, heavy) in October and won that 16-runner hurdle contest by 5l; subsequently acquired by top connections and he's been backed into favouritism for the Triumph Hurdle ahead of this first British start; exciting prospect.

Recorded a 5l success at Auteuil (2m2f, heavy) in sole French start and looks a bright prospect, having already been backed into favouritism for the Triumph Hurdle; missed intended British debut last Saturday due to the abandonment of Kempton; potentially very smart.

Form & Verdict
Won over C&D (good to soft) in November and made it 2-5 over hurdles when winning easily at Taunton (2m, good to soft) recently; won on soft ground on the Flat; could give another good account but there's a suspicion a couple of the French recruits will have greater potential.

Fairly useful maiden on the Flat for Ralph Beckett (on various ground) at up to 1m6f; changed hands for 32,000gns and has the credentials to do well over hurdles, but this looks a tough starting point.

Useful on the Flat (showed promise on soft ground) and he built on last month's hurdle debut second at Catterick (1m7f, good) to win by a head at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) last time; open to further improvement in this code but he might need a sizeable step forward in what looks a warm race.

Two-time Flat winner with some useful form (including on heavy ground) who was second of four on hurdle/stable debut at Newcastle (2m, good) in November before a fair fourth in a good race at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft); could again run well but his limitations may be exposed once more.

Posted useful RPR when winning by 7l on the Flat at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in October on final start for Martyn Meade; sold for 95,000gns shortly after and has had gelding/wind operations since; could do well over hurdles but this looks a tough introduction and he flopped on heavy going two runs ago.

Verdict

Two French winners make their debuts for powerful trainers and they could be the ones to concentrate on. LULAMBA has been backed into favouritism for the Triumph Hurdle and can make a winning start for Nicky Henderson, although the Paul Nicholls-trained Sauvignon also brings plenty of potential. Hosaamm may be best of the rest.[Ben Hutton]
