Genbu
One win from his eight hurdle starts, and that was fortunate as he was well behind in second when left in the lead at the final flight; beaten on his next three starts and again looks vulnerable under a 7lb penalty.

Arctic Voyage
6f Flat winner (on heavy ground) who hasn't totally convinced with his stamina on his first two hurdle starts (good/good to soft); however, he's run good races each time, not far behind Keyboard and Bouboule when fourth at Musselburgh most recently, and he could again be thereabouts.

Bebside
18-race Flat maiden whose form has gone the wrong way in the second half of this year; lots of improvement is needed for the switch to hurdles.

Bouboule
0-8 on the Flat and 0-4 over hurdles but he ran his best race yet in this code when third at Musselburgh last month on his second stable start (1m7f, good to soft; unraced on softer), when a head behind Keyboard; chance.

Captain Connor
14-1 when 8l third of nine on last month's debut in a bumper at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft); that was an encouraging start in a slowly run race and he could be seen to better effect when getting a proper gallop; not ruled out now tackling hurdles.

Frank Stamper
Frankel gelding who has an attractive Flat pedigree and showed a good level of ability across his four Flat starts for Jamie Osborne (1m-1m4f, AW); makes hurdle debut with his new stable in tremendous form (remains in same ownership) and he could play a leading role.

Keyboard
Promising third on stable debut on the Flat at Redcar (1m6f, good) last month and, having been outpaced, he kept on for second ahead of a couple of these on subsequent hurdle debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft; unproven on softer); open to improvement in this code and he's in with a big shout.

9/4 |
Manganese
Won a bumper in July on sole French start (1m4f, good to soft) and she did very well to score on last month's hurdle debut at Leicester (1m7f, soft) having nearly been carried out by a loose horse; now carries a penalty against males but she's firmly in calculations for her in-form stable.

Some Boy Me
Improved form on the Flat when fourth of 13 on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month; however, he's 0-5 in that code and needs a sizeable step forward on this first hurdle start.
