Race preview
Having offered encouragement in his first three starts over hurdles, bumper winner ODIN'S QUEST appeared to run too badly to be true when pulled up at Huntingdon. Given the stunning subsequent form of the Gary Moore yard, he's probably worth another chance in a race which might not take too much winning. Alternatives include Hobb's Delight who, despite being stoutly-bred, showed up well in a Worcester bumper first time out and Milton Harris' hurdling newcomer Definite, who scored on the Flat for Ralph Beckett last summer.
