Verdict

SERGEANT PEP couldn't justify strong support when runner-up over 6f last time but the step up in trip may see him go one better. High On Hope made the running before finishing third at Newcastle recently and can make his presence felt down in grade. He's A Gentleman has finished in the first two in 8 of 12 Wolverhampton starts and remains in good form.
