Verdict

ESPOIR DE ROMAY was progressive over hurdles and has made a bright start over fences, winning at Huntingdon before losing nothing in defeat attempting to concede weight to the upwardly-mobile Royale Pagaille at Haydock in December. He can make a successful handicap debut, with recent C&D winner The Bay Birch heading up the dangers.
