In depth
Verdict
HULLNBACK is likely to be another short-priced favourite on today’s card. A smart sort in bumpers last season, he was a beaten favourite on his hurdling debut but made no mistake in a Class 2 at Haydock next time and has a couple of Grade 1 entries at Cheltenham next month. Gitche Gumee also carries 7lb extra but he’s been beaten twice since scoring at Stratford in the autumn and is rated 11lb lower than the selection. The remainder are probably playing for places barring accidents.
