In depth
Verdict
FORTHEGREATERGOOD should make in third-time lucky over course and distance having found only one too good the last twice. Idols's Eye looks the main danger having finished third on his hurdling debut at Southwell, though Cloud Formation probably ran better than expected when placing at Uttoxeter when Sol Plum Creek was well behind.
