Verdict
Goodwood Starlight is improving over hurdles and added to his maiden win at Fakenham with a victory at Sedgefield in May. He's sure to be thereabouts at the finish, but HI TIDE could prove too good. The latter has a 7lb penalty for his recent win over C&D, but that shouldn't prevent him following-up in his current form. Crosby Jemma has plenty to find with the selection on latest running and Kelso winner Border Tale looks a bigger threat having gone close again at Sedgefield on his latest start.
