Verdict
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.
