Verdict
Bold Reason should have benefited for his first experience of hurdling at Huntingdon and finished well ahead of Allnite. But GLENPARK should also improve having finished fourth at Perth on his debut over timber and Lucinda Russell’s charge gets the nod. Nebuchadnezzar and Nelson River are of similar ability on the level and go hurdling for the first time. Both are preferred to Don't Cry About It and stablemate Good Impression with the former making most appeal of that pair after last month’s hurdling debut.
