Everaard has never won away from Musselburgh and may be in the handicapper's grip now while Bardolet was pulled up over hurdles at Southwell last month, though should see out this trip better than most. Nine De Sivola has had 23 attempts to get off the mark over fences but Noble Witness has to go on the short-list after winning at Leicester, though is 7lb higher here. DEUTERONOMY is back in the right grade and continues to tumble down the weights. Now on a lower mark than when a four-length second to Seize in a better race at Doncaster in December, John Wade's gelding can end a long losing run with blinkers fitted for the first time. Shulmin and Toulouse Express are both C&D winners but may be found wanting at this level.
