Yourholidayisover threw away a winning opportunity at Hereford 12 days ago and is now tried in blinkers. But it will be a surprise if he doesn’t find at least one too good again. Very Live would have every chance on his third at Lingfield in November and is a previous course and distance winner. Triple Chief is only 3lb higher than when successful here in March last year but the ex-Irish mare EASTER IN PARIS is fancied to win for the first time under Rules after a confidence-booster over hurdles at Fontwell on Boxing Day.
