Another fiercely competitive handicap, and this can go to EVERGATE. Like a few of these Robert Cowell's gelding has improved consistently this year and holds valid excuses for a sub-par performance at Doncaster when last seen. On what should be a workable mark he narrowly shades preference here over Roger Varian's Trick of The Light, who wears first-time blinkers, and Batten The Hatches, another improver who could be capable of further progression.
