      Verdict

      Thor De Cerisy, having a first run for a new yard, has run three times over fences but only placed once. Martator has disappointed since arriving in the UK but Pembroke, a useful novice hurdler, was only beaten a length on his chasing bow at Uttoxeter. MASTER CHEWY (NAP) was unlucky not to win over hurdles last season. He starts off over fences on a fair mark and his yard is in fine form. General Officer was surprisingly turned over by Chapel Green at Hexham but should reverse that form here on much better terms.
