Pau Race 1 - Jean D'ariste Novice Hurdle
The well-bred Saint Des Saints gelding LAURETS D'ESTRUVAL (7) is out of a three-time winning mare. Looks capable of making a successful debut for top connections. LOVELY GUY (10) showed plenty of ability when sixth on debut at Vichy in May and he should be well-schooled for his first hurdling start. The Gabriel Leenders-trained Doctor Dino newcomer ROC DINO (1) looks like a likely type on paper. SAINT CRYSTAL (5) requires a market check.

First race starter by Doctor Dino out of Presidente Line (EUR € 85,000 (Arqana 2022 Autumn Sale) purchase). Makes his debut here in what looks a tricky race for him. Worth watching for a betting push.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with finished win of 13 starters at Morlaix 3yo on September 22 over 2600m, 1.0 len behind L'invite Mystere with 63kg and before that finished second in a small field at Beaupreau 3yo on August 25 over 3400m, 1.0 len behind Faliway Laujac with 61kg. Likely to pose a serious challenge.
