Verdict
EVERYONESACRITIC had plenty in hand when returning to winning ways over 2m5f at Hereford a couple of weeks ago and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop him from following up here. Anytrixwilldo hit the crossbar over C&D when last seen in January and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Kit's Coty and Martalmix'jac are also noted.
