In depth
Verdict
Neveesou is a confident selection, with Cherished Number and Resplendent Star others fancied to go close in this company. That said, Hello It's Me is another worth a mention on the best of his form on the Flat and he could easily be the surprise package of the race. Resplendent Star reverts to hurdles after a fair effort Huntingdon last month. He races off the same mark today and, as a consistent type, he should be thereabouts if posting a clear round. Cherished Number was only modest on the level but posted a solid effort to win his hurdles debut at Fakenham. He has more to do in this stiffer company but should benefit from the experience. However, Neveesou sets a good standard from what they have all shown in this sphere so far and this looks another good piece of placement from the Pipe dynasty.
