Made a good start over fences last season, winning 3 times. Badly hampered in Summer Plate here on return and quickly back on track when runner-up at Bangor. Looks set for another solid campaign.

Much improved for switch to fences last summer, rattling off Stratford hat-trick. However, struggled next 2 starts 5 months apart so bit to prove.

Race rather fell apart when adding to tally at Kempton last May. Remained in good form after but still 5 lb above last winning mark.

Won first 3 handicap hurdles last year. Made a successful chase bow at Southwell last summer and nothing wrong with a brace of third-place finishes since. Remains unexposed over fences. Off 8 months.

Made encouraging start over fences when fourth at Huntingdon. Failed to complete next 2 starts but firmly back on track to win over C&D with plenty in hand last month and can defy a 9 lb rise.

Not easiest to catch right but was a good fourth of 17 in Summer Plate here on return and respectable third at Stratford 10 days ago. Potentially well handicapped.

Forecasts

El Presente (2/1), More Buck's (9/2), Ready And Able (11/2), Potterman (13/2), Topofthecotswolds (8/1), Step Back (10/1), Copper West (11/1), Beau Du Brizais (18/1)

Verdict

EL PRESENTE confirmed the promise of his chase debut at the third attempt when an easy winner over this C&D on return last month and may still be ahead of the handicapper despite a 9 lb rise. Potterman looks set for another solid campaign after his second at Bangor, while More Buck's is lurking on a dangerous mark.

  1. EL PRESENTE
