Verdict

Top Chief was entered in a seller here yesterday while stablemate Winter Music's jumping remains a concern. Politeness only won by a short-head at Uttoxeter last month but that's still better form than Solway Dandy's third here in May. KOH SAMUI is a 10-year-old but something of an unknown quantity having only run once under Rules since 2011. That was a second at Hexham 11 days ago and he should go close here with a repeat effort. Early Applause has had plenty of chances and has been raised 3lb since failing to justify favouritism at Market Rasen last month.
