I rather doubt the owners of Prince Rupert envisaged him making his debut in a two mile bumper as a son of Golden Horn out of a Frankel mare, and that makes me wonder if he is not as quick as his breeding suggests ahead of the 5.03pm at Kempton this evening.
For that reason I will swerve him here for the Paul Nicholls trained Max d’Airy, bought for 100,000 Euros at the horses in training sales after finishing second at Nancy last September, with the winner scoring again since to frank the form.
He does wear a hood for his British debut which is a slight concern regarding his temperament, but he arrives highly regarded and coud make a winning start to his National Hunt career.
