The four-year-old FINEST EVERMORE gets plenty of allowances and will be a warm order despite meeting much better rivals than when slamming a field of maidens at Tipperary. She gets 12lb from Lynwood Gold, which may just swing things in her favour though the latter has been in excellent form on the Flat and beat a strong field of maidens over timber at Navan in March. Saint D'oroux's close third in the Fred Winter would put him in the frame though he hasn't quite been in that kind of form so far this season but Deployed overcame sketchy jumping to win as he pleased at Kilbeggan and looks certain to improve.
