    In depth

    Verdict

    Genari is an interesting newcomer and should be watched in the market, but we will side with the progressive The Cayterers, Rajeh is another that should go well. The selection, rated 70 on the flat, has made a pleasing start to his hurdling career. He finished third to magic rush on his debut and then chased home the promising Melvino. The experience will not be lost on him and a big run is expected. Genari was successful off a mark of 71 on the flat, will have been well schooled and is with a shrewd yard so monitor this one closely. Rajeh ran well on his return at Cheltenham last month and has the highest official rating. He will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Lord Of The Bridge is another that is open to improvement, but The Cayterers has the form in the bag and he gets our vote.
