Verdict

Plenty with chances but HILL STATION comes here in excellent nick and can gain a deserved first hurdles victory at the chief expense of versatile top-weight Star Legend. Huntingdon scorer Charlie My Boy is also well in the mix, with Square du Roule worthy of respect too now dropped back in trip.
