      chased clear leader, not fluent 5th (water), lost 2nd 7th, chased leading pair until mistake 8th, outpaced before 11th, plugged on

      In depth

      Verdict

      Karl Marx won over hurdles at Chepstow last month but was pulled up on his chasing bow in December. Edeiff's Lad has won over fences but has raced over a variety of trips this season and is thoroughly exposed. SEVEN KINGDOMS (NAP) is only five but did win over hurdles last season and has also been successful on the Flat. He can only improve on his first run over fences at Taunton and looks the one to be on today ahead of the returning Bestwork and Cruise In Style.
