Off time: 12:38 | Winning time: 3m 51.74s

Genever Dragon¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 115

10/1

Fair maiden at up to only 1m on the Flat but proved his stamina for hurdling when making a successful start at Sedgefield in September. Looked vulnerable under a penalty there next time.

Form: 14

Gold Desert^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-4| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 116

9/2

Fair maiden on the Flat for Richard Hannon who made a winning start in this sphere at Sedgefield. Good third in better race there next time and, with cheekpieces on, another solid showing is expected.

Form: 13

Camahawk^b1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: T D Easterby

33/1

Fair efforts in middle-distance Flat handicaps this year and is related to winners over jumps, but low-key start in this sphere so far. Blinkered now.

Form: 76

Castle View¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Grant Cockburn⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie

200/1

Sent off 40/1 and offered nothing at Musselburgh on hurdling debut, so easily passed over.

Form: 9

Clay Regazzoni¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Peter Coleman⁽¹⁰⁾| T: K Dalgleish

20/1

Fair winner at 9f on Flat but yet to show much aptitude for hurdling. Up against it once again.

Form: 58

Fahad⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: J Kington| T: D Brooke| BF

66/1

Fair form on the Flat for Roger Varian, albeit not looking the most straightforward, and likely best watched on hurdles bow having been picked up for £14,000 by current connections.

Form:

Grouseman^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: Mrs P Sly

12/1

Modest maiden on the Flat but bred to make a hurdler and offered encouragement when fourth in a juvenile at Warwick 14 days ago. Needs a chunk of improvement to compete in this, however.

Form: 4

Magna Moralia¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 117| BF

8/13

Dual winner on the Flat and promising second both outings over hurdles. Showed his wellbeing at Redcar recently and this looks an ideal opportunity to open his account in this discipline.

Form: 22

Monash³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies

50/1

Just fair form up to 1m on the level for Ed Walker and picked up cheaply since a sub-par effort at Yarmouth 31 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form:

Ring Of Gold¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M & D Easterby

20/1

Plenty of encouragement on the Flat prior to a tame effort at Nottingham last time. Should have a future in this sphere but market likely to dictate whether he's a player on first go at hurdling.

Form:

Temper Trap³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: T D Easterby

18/1

Fair operator on the Flat at up to 1¼m so not totally discounted on hurdling debut for all he's not really bred for jumping.

Form:

Forecasts

Magna Moralia (8/13), Gold Desert (9/2), Genever Dragon (10/1), Grouseman (12/1), Temper Trap (18/1), Ring Of Gold (20/1), Clay Regazzoni (20/1), Camahawk (33/1), Monash (50/1), Fahad (66/1), Castle View (200/1)

MAGNA MORALIA is a consistent type with enough ability to win a weak-looking juvenile hurdle such as this, so he's taken to get the better of Gold Desert and Genever Dragon, who both have to concede a penalty.
