GREGORI came good at Wolverhampton and was beaten only a length off a higher mark over track and trip last time. It could pay to stick with Brian Meehan's charge as neither Homeboy nor Dishy Guru look capable of reversing latest running. Sarah Berry beat Metropolitan Chief at Kempton last month and should figure again despite a 4lb rise while Hinton Admiral could make the frame once again after finishing runner-up over 7f last time.
