Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 12.5f) for George Boughey. Would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong now hurdling for Ben Pauling.

Modest form in 2 bumpers and completed start over hurdles. Looks more one for the longer term.
|
Bumper winner for Paul Nicholls last season. Has shaped with plenty of encouragement when second in a pair of 2m Newbury maiden hurdles for new yard this term and he's the one to beat here with further progress likely.
|
Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1½m). Translated that level of ability to hurdles when 10 lengths second in Fontwell juvenile (good to soft) in November but well beaten at Newbury since. The cheekpieces worn on those occasions are now left off.

SINNATRA has shaped well when second in a couple of Newbury maiden hurdles since joining Dan Skelton and is narrowly preferred to last month's C&D juvenile runner-up Pourquoi Pas Papa. It'll also be interesting to see how much confidence there is in the betting behind useful Flat performer Fouroneohfever on his hurdle debut for Ben Pauling.
