Verdict
DEREKS had little trouble accounting for Everaard at Wetherby and may be able to follow up whilst Rowan River is amongst those that hold each-way claims. The selection is 7lbs worse off with Everaard for three and a half lengths but he'll have another 9lbs to shoulder in future as the handicapper was sufficiently impressed to doll out a 16lb rise and that is a more accurate reflection of his supremacy. The run at Wetherby was his first for the yard and there may be more improvement to come. Rowan River ran on from off the pace to finish third at Towcester when seven lengths behind the second home Monkhair who has boosted the form with two solid subsequent efforts and both merit serious consideration as a result. Papradon is the third penalised runner in the field following his victory at Fontwell where he was opening his account at the tenth time of asking and he could struggle in a race where there are several unexposed runners lurking but they could all struggle to cope with Dereks.
