        Verdict

        GREY WATERS (NAP) won twice over hurdles in Ireland before sent to Kempton and landing a similar race to this from just 4lb lower. His latest start was in a Grade 2 hurdle at Leopardstown where he ran very well and will be very difficult to beat off this mark. Author's Dream showed his liking for Wolverhampton's Tapeta with a very easy victory a month ago for which he's been raised 10lb though he'd finished over a length behind the selection at Kempton and is 4lb worse off at the weights. Fitzwilly ran well when a close second over this trip at Chelmsford though has gone up in the weights again but Bertie Moon's latest victory was in a 1m4f seller. Night Generation won over hurdles at Huntingdon in November but ran poorly over this track and trip last month.
