    Verdict

    Pembroke was a more-than-useful novice hurdler last season and only beaten a length on his chasing bow at Uttoxeter. However, he was probably the first beaten when favourite at Aintree next time and MATATA may have his measure here after a thrilling front-running performance at Ffos Las.
