Verdict

GOLD PRESENT ran well to finish runner-up in a competitive race at the Cheltenham Festival in March and can put a subsequent fall behind him by taking this handicap chase stepping up in trip on his seasonal debut. O Maonlai took this contest last year and is another making his seasonal debut today. Tom George's charge has won twice here in the past and can claim second ahead of Warriors Tale who can put a non-completion at Aintree last time out behind him.
