Verdict

Foxes Bridge is upped 8lb for winning by a neck at Worcester three weeks ago and Kimora has been raised 5lb after picking-up a hunter chase at Fontwell. Where'd Ya Hide It found only one too good over track and trip last time but TOP CHIEF's (NAP) second at Uttoxeter last time looks stronger form. The latter couldn't prevent Regal Park from landing a double on that occasion but this is no tougher and he should confirm running with fifth-placed Annamult.
