      Verdict

      Course specialist EVERAARD is back over fences for the first time since scoring over C&D in January. He's 8lb higher now but is probably still the one to beat with Bob Will beaten off a lower mark at Newcastle last month and Eyre Apparent pulled up when last seen at Uttoxeter and possibly better over shorter distances. The trip could also be a problem for Angel Sun but D'Gigi is relatively unexposed and could play a part while Dusky Bob didn't fare badly over a longer trip at Haydock and will be staying on when others have cried enough.
