Racing Post verdict
Third-partyPUPPET MASTER can bounce back now dropping in trip, with his tough introduction over hurdles in stronger company likely to have taught him plenty. A Listed winner on the Flat, he has the class and a strong stable behind him to progress for this switch, and he wears a tongue-tie for the first time. The chief threat is BEAUVALLON, bidding to complete a hat-trick over hurdles with the form of his latest win since boosted, while MINO DES MOTTES, a bumper winner in France, also warrants respect having seen his placed effort boosted at the top level since. PUPPET MASTER, though, is the one to side with.
