SCHOOL BOY HOURS stayed on really well on return to finish second and an extra 3f can only help so he has rock solid credentials and is worth siding with here. The main danger looks to be Grotesque who has fair form already but now goes up 6f in trip on his debut for Gordon Elliott so there are reasons to think he can improve further. The Gunner Murphy may well be JP McManus' second string but such types have won many races in the past and Joseph O'Brien's charge is another worthy of consideration here.
