I can’t find much more info on the web than what’s on the hope website and stores websites like crc.
I’m thinking of trying 1 x 10 with an xtr clutch mech as I need to replace most of my worn drivetrain anyway but I’m going round in circles trying to figure out what ratios to go for and if it’s the even right thing to do for the type of riding I do.

Hi Andy, that's not really a guide on it's own, is designed to work with the integrated chainring/bashguard Hope do:

Plenty of full cage top guides around from MRP etc, eg

was gonna say, how is that gonna stop the chain jumping off the outside of the front ring?

best one ive used is the most expensive one, but its been fit and forget had for several months now and its been 100000000000000000% perfect, never once budged.

e13 xcx ST - pricey though

I have a raceface ring with bash guard which I'm hoping will work with it. Not sure if I want/need a bash guard i was going to use it mainly to compliment the hope guide.

I'm thinking of getting one of these to replace my N-Gear Jump Stop - should work v well with a singlespeed chainring plus bashring. The N-Gear has never dropped the chain when riding, only when pushing back up or standing about getting knocked in strange directions in muddy conditions.

As I can't find a lot of pictures I have to ask, is the Hope guide horisontally adjustable?

Unfortunately not alot of adjusment to speak of with a 73mm shell then, but maybe it still manages to work universally ok?
