Race preview

Beauport had already shown some promise on his hurdling debut at Southwell and built on that effort when easing to victory over slightly further here last time. Nigel Twiston-Davies' gelding could be a tough nut to crack in this, but perhaps giving 7lb to MANHATTAN BULLET might prove too much. Emma Lavelle's gelding struggled to match the winner in a three-runner affair at Plumpton last time, but that was an improvement on his hurdling debut and he could be progressing sufficiently to land this. Golden Boy Grey won nicely on debut but struggled under a penalty at Newbury latest, while Calvario failed to justify favouritism at Chepstow last time but he ran a much better race than on his hurdling bow and could be a player if continuing to progress.
