EVERDON BROOK was picked up very cheaply from the Ascot Sales and has already repaid the investment. He had very little to do to score at Fakenham but has improved since stepping up to this kind of trip and is well enough treated to go in again. Benmadigan has to be a big threat despite reaching the veteran stage for a hurdler as he gained his eighth victory over timber over a trip too short here last month. He's won from much higher marks in the past and will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Everaard completed a hat-trick on this track at the beginning of the year and is now back on a very winnable mark after a couple of poor efforts but Word of Warning is racing over his longest trip on his 41st career start. Pyjama Game attracted good support at Newcastle last month but didn't get far and connections will be looking for compensation.
