Verdict

DEMON D'AUNOU is the notable eye-catcher turning out over hurdles for the first time in the silks of JP McManus having been acquired for £130,000 at the November 2016 Cheltenham sale. He showed obvious ability in France, and is a brother to 2m2f hurdle winner Coquine D'Aunou as well as a half-brother to French Listed placed 2m2f hurdle winner Quatre Vingt Treize. With a lack of overly strong opposition in the line up, bar the mildly interesting stable switcher Royal Mandate, he should prove far too strong for his eight rivals and provide trainer Jonjo O'Neill with yet another winner this week.
  1. Demon D'aunou
  2. Royal Mandate
