ETERNAL PRESENCE had the reopposing Project Two and Television behind in third and fourth when a promising second on his Roscommon hurdle debut last Tuesday and is fancied to go one better now with improvement on the cards. Project Two could be the one to give him most to do unless the market vibes are strong for Gavin Cromwell hurdle newcomer Li Mu Bai.
