4/1
Won over C&D in March from just 2lb lower and goes well on a sound surface. Handicapper has had her measure since, but now that he is relenting she could tke closer order again.

7/4
Won by an eased-down 6L at Market Rasen last time over slightly shorter. Arguably still unexposed over fences. Likely to see out this far on a flat track and 6lb rise looks within his compass.

13/2
Scored over 2m½f at Worcester in June and has been well held over around 2m4f on his last two starts, after just a 3lb rise. Same mark again today and up even further in trip, so has serious stamina doubts to overcome.

3/1
Still 4lb higher than when scoring at Bangor (2m3½f, good) over hurdles last year and, while he has been showing some promise over fences, he looks in need of further assistance from the handicapper before winning again.

6/1
Has won three point-to-points, two on a sound surface. Had a sighter for this stable at Worcester in July and now dropped 5lb. Trainer has had a bit of time with him and a market check is advised with the champ up.

Forecasts

Miami Present (7/4), River Of Intrigue (11/4), Fair To Middling (3/1), Dawnieriver (4/1), Glenteeneasaigh (6/1), David John (13/2)

Verdict

Glenteeneasalgh looks interesting in receipt of plenty of weight from all five of his opponents and he could go very well, though River Of Intrigue has his conditions and should appreciate the return to three miles on his first start for Fergal O'Brien. He also looks a leading player. However, there was a lot to like about the way that MIAMI PRESENT won at Market Rasen and he shapes as though he will get the extra half mile, so he is taken to defy a 6lb rise. Dawnleriver could also do better than of late.
  1. Miami Present
