Verdict

ENTRY TO EVRYWHERE has the edge in experience over his three rivals and, though undoubtedly flattered by his margin of victory at Fakenham, is also receiving weight all round. He is probably the one to beat even though Global Dream looks the type to take to fences - the latter stays further than this. Diamond Life has few miles on the clock but has been tailed off in both runs over hurdles this season. Two of Malanos' three victories over hurdles have come here but he's looked a shadow of his former self lately.
