DEVON DUDE (1) missed the placings in a hurdle (4000m) at Windsor two back then did a better job to finish second in a maiden hurdle (3800m) at Taunton last start. Prospects look very bright. STAR ARTIST (2) comes here off a fifth 31 days back in a maiden hurdle (3050m) at Wincanton, beaten 15 lengths. That result followed a solid third at Southwell in a 3200m flat race two starts ago. Cannot be left out. LAND GIRL'S LUCK (3) opened the campaign with a respectable third in a bumper (3260m) at Newcastle All Weather then last start could only manage ninth in a maiden hurdle (4100m) at Huntingdon 26 days ago. Sure to be thereabouts.
