Presence (15/8), Eastern Wind (11/4), The Bog Bank (4/1), Vassula Ryden (5/1), Pepper Noir (11/1), Bella Colombia (18/1)

PRESENCE has had a good spell in recent months and is preferred to Willie McCreery's Vassula Ryden, a creditable fourth over C&D last time. C&D specialist The Bog Bank would also need considering if turning out again.
