He may have been raised 7lb by the handicapper since his last time out victory, but SONNEOFPRESENTING looks a likely type to improve again and make this a third win of his career. It was impossible not to be impressed with his performance at Market Rasen in September, when he won with something to spare, and this progressive type is the stand-out candidate in a race lacking serious depth. Highbury High is another improving last time out Market Rasen winner, made all the more impressive by his age, but must surely reach his ceiling sooner rather than later, while Jay Are clearly needed the run at Plumpton last time and should do better here.
