      In depth

      Verdict

      Raised 16lb for an easy win at Worcester, Byron Blue cut little ice in better company at Cheltenham last time. But VESPERAL DREAM (NAP) makes more appeal on his decent effort in a Class 2 handicap at Newton Abbot and he can land this dropping back down in class. Neville was beaten only a head in a maiden contest over track and trip recently with Clovers Revenge well beaten and is also preferred to the remaining pair.
