Verdict
David Pipe is a master at getting a horse ready after a break so his French import SUN DES MOTTES makes plenty of appeal on his UK debut. A winner twice and a runner up four more times in French bumpers the filly is in good hands to make an impact in the UK. L'Accordioniste was a winner of his only bumper start at this track and should go well on debut over hurdles while Pepite Rose will love this ground and showed some ability in France. Tchika is one of the few with proven form in soft conditions so might have a say but Sun Des Mottes looks a nice prospect.
