The usual staying hurdle at Huntingdon featuring many of the usual suspects. The choice though is GEORGE FERNBACK, improved like so many before him, by the move to the Brian Ellison yard, not to mention a dramatic increase in trip and the application of a hood. He's up 12lb for two April successes but looks best sticking with in his rejuvenated vein of form. Clouds Of Mist should be there of thereabouts whilst Silent Knight is of interest upped in trip for his in-form yard. Landenstown Pearl and Sea Cadet were both successful on their respective penultimate outings before failing last time - and both would have place claims if reverting to form as stamina is assured in both cases.
