Verdict

The competitive aspect of the previous race spills over to a lesser degree here and this could be one that goes right down to the wire. And Ever Present, is fancied to edge a narrow verdict over Personal Assurance and Loup The Loop - although Exstoto can be expected to be baring down on them all if he is still there with a shout at the final flight. However, Ever Present had a progressive profile last season and gave the impression that he has a bright future after a string of good efforts in defeat. His close up fourth at Cheltenham in January reads as good a piece of form as any on offer and Alan King's charge can pick up where he left off with a clear round today.
