      Verdict

      EVER PRESENT is our idea of the winner with King Mak and Robin D Sherwood the dangers. The veteran looked as if need of the race at Aintree and bowed out accordingly as the race built up to a crescendo. Nevertheless, he retains his ability and is proven on the prevailing going. King Mak is more than capable on his day. He regrettably does have problems in making mistakes and this is enough for us to look elsewhere. Robin D Sherwood was sold out of the Paul Nicholls stable for a relatively small sum. The full brother to Exit To Wave has handled this surface adequately enough in the past so needs to be watched in the market. Ormello was set to race at Aintree on Sunday. First Look produced a fair effort at Carlisle. He had been busy on the flat so he should have been fit enough to do himself justice. Tell Henry won well at Wetherby but has gone up in the handicap since. Hush Tiger is an infrequent winner though he handles soft ground. Ever Present is the selection in a race that should present plenty of thrills and spills.
