Verdict
TORNADE D'ESTRUVAL has a solid jumping pedigree and managed to get off the mark over hurdles in the French provinces in May. Bought by the hugely successful Million In Mind partnership and now with Nicky Henderson, the filly has plenty of scope for further improvement and can make a successful UK debut. Saute has already contested several handicaps and looks exposed but there should be more to come from easy Cheltenham winner Court In Session and Giant O Murchu may well have followed up his Towcester win had he not fallen at the last at Wincanton. All The Winds failed to land the odds at Worcester in July, however, and will struggle here on that evidence.
