Verdict
Huntingdon maiden winner ABSOLUTE RULER found only one too good at Ffos Las last time but gets another chance in this given The Galahad Kid is returning from a lay-off and making his hurdling debut. The latter completed a double in bumpers last summer, however, while Young Merlin won three times on the Flat in France and debuts for a new yard on his hurdling bow. Il Cima is another hurdling for the first time but Definite placed at Plumpton before running out behind the selection at Huntingdon.
