In depth
Verdict
Premier Drive, with a couple of minor wins to his name, will not find it easy to give weight away to some promising types. Stormin' Native had subsequent winner Infrasonic behind when winning at Haydock, and appeared suited to having more use made of him. He should give a good account of himself. Waterberg stays well, but isn't the most fluent of jumpers, while Jimmy Tennis will appreciate this company after tackling the best in the Royal and Sun Alliance chase at the festival. Montayral, the winner of four novice chases this year, looks the one to be on.
