Hudibras won a Lingfield bumper two years ago and showed some ability over timber. He didn't get far on his chasing debut at Fakenham where he had attracted support and it would be a shock if he were to beat QOZAK here. The latter is no stable star and was soon done with here last time after making a mistake. He had won his previous start on the track and though not one to rely on he should have the measure of his sole rival.
