Verdict

EVERLONG drops back into maiden company and should be successful. She ran well in the Cheshire Oaks last time and was beaten only a length by Vow at Newbury before that with Sequence well behind. The former went on to win the Lingfield Oaks Trial where Dinvar Diva still showed signs of inexperience to finish a well-beaten sixth and she needs more time on that evidence. Irish import Nakuru Breeze will have to step up on last year's third at Wexford to get involved.
