Verdict

MAESTRO DES PINS is a notable French recruit and debuts for top connections at an encouraging time of the new National Hunt season. The four-year-old won a Lignieres AQPS bumper last November from which the fourth-placed horse won next time and he will know his job on jumps debut. Arouet was Listed-placed on the Flat last summer and while he finished 17 lengths behind today's rival Manoir De Mirande on his hurdling debut at Gowran in February, his jumping lacked fluency and he will appreciate a return to better ground. Manoir De Mirande is consistent but somewhat limited.
