In depth
Verdict
This marks a substantial drop in class for Overstand after he was faced with an almost impossible task at Cheltenham last time out. However, he should be seen in a much better light at this level and is taken to have too much speed for the likes of Cappadrummin and Gumption, who in truth, do not look to be anything other than ordinary over hurdles.
