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.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Night Ride Home could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Pourquoi Pas Papa might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Fouroneohfever is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
