Verdict

Chestnut Ben had Larteta 15 lengths behind when winning in this grade on his reappearance at Huntingdon but Hi Tide didn't impress on his return to chasing at Worcester in September and is best watched. It's difficult to have much faith in The Jugopolist at present so this looks a good opportunity for TOPTHORN (NAP) to pick up the winning thread again. Martin Bosley's grey couldn't follow up an easy Worcester win at Huntingdon on Sunday but should get an uncontested lead here and will be suited by the sharp nature of the track.
