Winston Junior
Faye Bramley has already won a big handicap chase here this season and perhaps WINSTON JUNIOR can repeat the feat over hurdles for his emerging stable. Manlaga impressed when seeing off a couple of these in the Victor Ludorum and is second choice ahead of the same owner's Saratoga, who looks to have been laid out for this. Bibe Mus, whose 5 lb penalty for his win at Sandown on Saturday gets him into the race, and Ammes also make the shortlist.

Useful maiden on Flat (stays 13f) for Jessica Harrington in Ireland and has made a very encouraging start to his hurdle career, runner-up twice before making all with ease at Ascot (2m, soft) in January. Capable of having a big say from an opening mark which looks very workable.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosAscot1m 7f 157ySoftHurdle1/10Cheltenham2m 179yGood to SoftHurdle2/10Fontwell Park2m 1f 162yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/5Haydock Park1m 6f 1yGoodFlat9/10Chepstow1m 4fGood to SoftFlat2/12- 10Glen To GlenJ: J.

Useful on Flat and easy winner of 2 juvenile hurdles this autumn.

Third at Auteuil on debut last spring. Couldn't land the odds (4/11) but shaped well when second of 15 in juvenile at Punchestown on return for new connections and duly went one better at Gowran (2m, heavy) last month. A mark in the 130s looks on the high side but there is surely more to come.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosGowran Park2mHeavyHurdle1/10Punchestown2m 35ySoft to HeavyHurdle2/15Auteuil1m 6f 201yVery softHurdle3/10- 6The Mighty CeltJ: Harry SkeltonE: Dan Skelton5-32283Âge 414/114/112/1
