      Verdict

      MUCUNA overcame Free Chakarte in a desperate finish here this month and if weights and measures are anything to go by then the Pipe inmate should reverse places now. However, the topweight has gone on to land a Stratford juvenile hurdle comfortably and looks to be improving with racing. There should be little between the pair again but the Harris filly goes well for her 7lb conditional and receives the narrowest of preferences, Hill Station was revealing dramatic improvement on his Flat form when coming to grief two out on hurdling debut having been supported into favouritism. He must be taken seriously if safely over that unfortunate fall. Cowboy wasn't without ability on the Flat and is of some interest but Lanfear displayed little in four starts on the level.
