WON +2.40

Match: West Ham vs Everton
Pick: Everton (Draw No Bet)
Odds: 2.08 (Bet365)
Stake: 5 units

West Ham are playing poor at the moment as the euphoria of a new coach has worn off. They have lost some of their good defensive players (i.e. Ferdinand), and with Carlton Cole injured, they do lack some firepower up front.

Everton are solid, but they have left it late in the last 2 games to win. However, they are defensively solid. As they look like they lack ambition and the ruthlessness, this game could easily be a draw but I reckon the more likely side to win is Everton.

Solid runner, and although there are some other good contenders in the field I believe this horse is consistent and has a very experience jockey riding it again. Blythe has question marks, but Takeroc and Chomba Womba will provide strong challenges, but the price is quite good.
