EVERAARD shaped with promise on his chasing debut over C&D behind Rickardstown and can reverse that form with runner-up Currahee. Kate Walton obviously thinks the five-year-old is capable of picking up a handicap off his current mark and he has far more scope than some modest rivals. Lethem Present won over a shorter trip here eight days ago when City Of Doral was back in third and has also won over C&D in the past, while Andrew Parker's Super Ally was well backed on his chasing bow at Perth but ended up beaten a long way and has a bit to prove now.
