A competitive contest with the narrow vote in favour of STICK WITH ME SAM. Tom Gretton's 6-y-o stepped up markedly on his chase debut when chasing home a next-time-out winner at Warwick 31 days ago and that effort confirmed he's one to be interested in from this sort of mark. We Got Your Back was never stronger than at the finish when successful at Leicester on his latest outing and he's a big threat. Flash du Pistolet and Pescatorius also enter the reckoning.
