In depth
Verdict
Bumper winner MR HUDSON scored on his hurdling debut over 2m5f here last November with the useful chaser Madison Du Berlais back in second. He looks capable of defying a penalty despite the drop in trip. Accordintolawrence also carries a penalty for his recent victory here and looks a real threat with more to come. Gunna Be A Devil showed improvement to finish third at Towcester last time and he can figure while better is expected of Filbert and Lord Liath with recent hurdling debuts under their belts.
