We consider a polymer, with monomer locations modeled by the trajectory of a Markov chain, in the presence of a potential that interacts with the polymer when it visits a particular site 0. We assume that probability of an excursion of length $n$ is given by $n^{-c}\phi(n)$ for some $13/2$, at high temperature, the quenched and annealed curves differ significantly only in a very small neighborhood of the critical point--the size of this neighborhood scales as $\beta^{1/(2c-3)}$ where $\beta$ is the inverse temperature. For $c<3/2$, given $\epsilon>0$, for sufficiently high temperature the quenched and annealed curves are within a factor of $1-\epsilon$ for all $u$ near the critical point; in particular the quenched and annealed critical points are equal. For $c=3/2$ the regime depends on the slowly varying function $\phi$.
