In depth
Verdict
Eastview Boy beat the useful Always Resolute at Newcastle in March but turned in a shocker when a short-priced favourite at Hexham last month. One More Go made a winning reappearance at Worcester, however, though may struggle to give weight to the in-form mare ONLY FOR LOVE. Nicky Henderson's five-year-old has won both starts over hurdles with the minimum of fuss and should complete the hat-trick. It's hard to make a case for the other two.
