Verdict

JUDICIAL DEFERENCE shaped well on his hurdling bow when runner-up at Bangor and with better to come he can edge out Abbey Scope (second choice) and The G Wizard who both look to have better days ahead of them too and rate big threats. Hurdling debutant Who's Glen can't be discounted either, especially if the market vibes are positive.
