Why will horse racing NAP of the Day Ever Present win?
In the featured Listed race at Down Royal this evening, Her Majesty’s Place over 1m 6f (7:30), Ever Present appeals. Some tipsters put this one forward for the biggest handicap at York races today, the Ebor coming up next month. If Jessica Harrington’s charge is to win on the Knavesmire in August, then he needs a good show here.
In Ever Present, she has a lightly-raced six-year-old gelding by Elusive Pimpernel who started off in bumpers. He has since switched from National Hunt Flat races to the level proper and won three of four starts in this code. Ever Present has never been favourite on the best betting sites for any of his races so far, so regularly defied market expectations.
