I've gone with Everest in the 2.50 in Plumpton. 4s in most places. Lady Caro bit of an inconsistent sort, winner here but has been tricky hanging and jumping right before. Jet Patrol, very hard ride for a claimer first time riding him in a race, keen, needs lots of luck (punted a few times off lower marks at previous trainer and struggled to get head in front). Superstylin is strong and a bit of a worry in new yard but 2 years nearly not over hurdles and only 2 lbs drop, doesn't scream well in (can run well fresh though). Everest, unexposed, good first bumper run, right punt first time back after injury, ran poor but was ridden with the gamble as if it had 10lbs in hand (she didn't), gave her way too much to do. Ran fine first time in handicaps (still looks a bit slow, need to be more positive on her), few new decorations on today and with that I'd hope she's ridden more forward in this poor race. Trip is the main worry but I'm happy with the price with that factored in.
 
This is what I posted on Twitter earlier for anyone that maybe interested


Athletics World Championships - Womens 800m Lilian Odira 1pt Win at 50/1 ( Gen ) & 3pts to win a medal at 5/1 ( Paddy Power ) looks far to generous to me. Keely ( too short ) aside it looks an open event, the 5's for any colour medal looks particularly tempting.
Odira beat Mary Moraa last year in a Kenyan Olympic qualifier, and was runner up at the African Championship - and made the Olympic semi finals, this after returning to athletics after giving birth. This year she broke her PB running 1.58:31 at the end of May in Nairobi.
In June she retained her Kenyan title, and the following month won the 800m Kenyan trials for the WC. She further lowered her PB in the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial Diamond League meet running 1.56:52 when runner up to Keely Hodgkinson.
Odira is clearly in good form and has improved since becoming a Mum -whatever way I look at this the odds make little sense to me - Win/Lose or Draw. The humidity should pose no problems to her ( but may inconvenience others ) and I'm hopeful of a better run than her odds suggest.
What a tip 🔥
