Verdict
LOUDSPEAKER failed to win over hurdles but made a winning debut over fences when successful at Doncaster and can defy a 5lb rise. Cobbs Corner ran well on his reappearance and chasing debut here though his hurdles win came over further while Phoenix Aquilus placed at Ludlow on his first start over fences without threatening the winner. King Otis is 10lb higher than an earlier win over timber while Dusky Days makes his chasing bow for a yard in good form.
