In depth

Verdict

Everready is in the form of his life at the moment and should have no problem scoring his hat-trick with Dantes Venture, Parisian Storm and Lancashire Lass posing the main dangers. Dantes Venture improved for the step up in trip over course and distance on his penultimate start but struggled around Ludlow last time out when sent off favourite. The only excuse that can be given for that below par effort is that it is a very quick track and he never travelled well so could be given the benefit of the doubt. Parisian Storm was one time thought a lot of by connections and did show bits of form over fences. That form dwindled and although fairing a little better at Newton Abbot over hurdles last time out he needs to improve. Lancashire Lass did show some good level of form last season on one or two occasions to warrant a mention but the Jeff King trained individual hasn't been in the same form since. That brings us back to Everready who after winning well at both Fakenham and Huntingdon should with a clear round win again with Dantes Venture looking the most likely forecast selection.
