Verdict
Hi Tide is a regular visitor here and still capable in this grade as he showed with a recent second over 2m. Pembridge was third at Newton Abbot last month after winning at Stratford. Annamult won over fences here in May but his record over the smaller obstacles leaves much to be desired and Spring Steel's recent winning run came in chases. DEFINITLY GREY was making slow but gradual progress in the spring. He has his first run since May but Richard Johnson is back on board and his stable is in decent form at present – a big run is anticipated dropped a further 2lb since his fourth in a better race at Stratford.
