Verdict

Grey Spirit is penalised for winning by a neck at Stratford last month though the runner-up has subsequently won and he can figure again. Hawridge Storm finished runner-up at Newton Abbot on his hurdling bow while Eyren looks a likely improver. San Agustin finished closer in a bumper recently but another hurdling newcomer in DIAMOND RIVER (NAP) won a bumper at Uttoxeter on last month’s reappearance. Nicky Henderson’s charge is related to four winning hurdlers and a bold bid is expected.
