In depth
Verdict
Tintintin is a half-brother to a winning chaser and hurdler but Despereaux and ZOEMAN are also related to winning jumpers and by Great Pretender, who was a useful hurdler himself. The latter should know what’s required so gets the vote with the market likely to be the best guide to the chances of Junior Des Bordes and Karavomylos.
