Verdict

Wincanton winner Nothing Is Forever failed to cope with a 9lb rise when well beaten here last time. King's Road is up 7lb for winning a lower grade contest at Market Rasen a fortnight ago but that doesn't look much stronger form than Byron Blue's second in a seller at Worcester. MY LORD reverted to hurdling with a good effort at Southwell last time and he's just preferred to Easily Pleased, whose best recent form has come over the larger obstacles.
