Verdict

Though conceding weight all round will not be easy, EVER GIVEN may well be equal to the task. This strong-travelling type did very little wrong last term and has been handed a favourable draw for his return to the Roodee (winner of a 7f nursery on sole previous visit here). Pocket The Profit is a big player judged on his reappearance success, but he could find things happening a shade too quickly round here from stall seven, unless the ground eases appreciably. Golden Warrior is third choice.
