100/1

Winner on debut over hurdles at Stratford (good) in April and has since justified odds-on favouritism at Market Rasen (good). Well held the last twice and makes his handicap debut for a new yard today.

LORD HUNTINGDON can reverse form with his Plumpton conqueror East Indies as they meet once more in this Class 3 handicap hurdle. The selection ran well for a long way prior when third on that occasion and register a third win over hurdles at the expense of Gary Moore's charge. The first time hooded Barman put in his best effort since winning at Warwick 13 months ago when runner-up at Bangor last time and can take third while today.
