Verdict
Bletchley Castle and Crosspark are firmly in the veteran stage now but the latter wasn’t beaten far at Newbury last month. SECRET INVESTOR fell at the first in the Hunters’ Chase at The Festival but these obstacles are much less daunting and the 11-year-old had won at Kelso and Bangor beforehand. Solomon Grey landed the odds in a small field in this last year while Arthur's Sixpence was a winner between the flags earlier this month.
