Hannon won over hurdles on New Year's Day and was placed in both starts on the Flat during the summer, though didn't run well here last month. Narynkol, twice runner-up for Roger Varian in August, tackles a longer trip but was staying on well over the extended 1m2f earlier this month as was runner-up BASHFUL BOY. The latter was showing his first real sign of form and, with Kevin Manning taking over the reins, looks the one to beat. Ela Katrina ran three times for Roger Varian, doing very much better at Kempton on her latest start last month, but Guinevere has had plenty of chances including over hurdles.
