Dubai Celebrity (4/6), Man Look (11/5), West Class (6/1), Raennavich (10/1), Russian Rascal (50/1), Canford Kilbey (66/1), Beyondtheflame (66/1), King Golan (100/1)

A handicap mark in the low 100's isn't generally good enough to take a maiden hurdle, but this race is weak in the extreme. DUBAI CELEBRITY has been in fair placed form in handicap hurdles, and he boasts the best hurdles form on offer and should be suited by dropping back in trip tonight. On Flat form alone Man Look is capable of thrashing these rivals, and whilst undoubtedly better on a sound surface (may try to make all) he's appeared a very expensive 50,000 guineas purchase in three runs over hurdles so far.
