Off time: 12:45 | Winning time: 3m 48.14s

Genbu^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: S England| OR: 97| D

14/1

Got off the mark in Wetherby juvenile in October. Creditable fourth at Sedgefield last month but below par when a remote third over C&D since. Likely vulnerable for win purposes under the penalty.

Form: 331P43

Arctic Voyage^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: I Jardine| OR: 110

8/1

Didn't progress on the Flat but has reached the frame in juvenile hurdles in recent months, although a couple of today's rivals were ahead of him when fourth at Musselburgh last time. Has a tongue tie refitted.

Form: 24

Bebside^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: T D Easterby

200/1

Poor maiden on Flat (stays 1½m). Best watched now hurdling.

Form:

Bouboule^p¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: G Boanas| OR: 96

10/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. Similar standard over hurdles (for Harry Derham initially), staying on for third of 8 at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) last time.

Form: 4353

Captain Connor²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

22/1

Showed plenty to work on when 8 lengths third of 9 in Huntingdon bumper (soft) on debut 24 days ago. Should be sharper for that experience now switching to hurdles.

Form: 3

Frank Stamper⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex

4/1

Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1½m) for Jamie Osborne. Has joined an in-form stable for his hurdle career and starts out in a winnable race. Reasons to be positive.

Form:

Keyboard^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: A Nicol| BF

15/8

Fairly useful maiden on Flat. Showed plenty to work on when second (Bouboule third, Arctic Voyage fourth) on Musselburgh hurdle debut 18 days ago. Considered.

Form: 2

Manganese²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: M Comley| D

9/4

French bumper winner who made a successful start for Max Comley in a Leicester fillies juvenile maiden hurdle last month. That form is nothing special but she's entitled to progress.

Form: 11

Some Boy Me²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby

100/1

Modest maiden at up to 11f on the Flat for this yard. Probably best watched switched to hurdles.

Form:

Forecasts

Keyboard (15/8), Manganese (9/4), Frank Stamper (4/1), Arctic Voyage (8/1), Bouboule (10/1), Genbu (14/1), Captain Connor (22/1), Some Boy Me (100/1), Bebside (200/1)

Those with hurdle experience don't set the bar that high so perhaps FRANK STAMPER, who showed fair form in a light Flat career, can make a successful start over timber for in-form Warren Greatrex. Adam Nicol enjoyed high-profile juvenile success at Cheltenham over the weekend and his Musselburgh runner-up Keyboard may provide the main threat ahead of Leicester winner Manganese.
