Verdict

NOT AT PRESENT is on a roll and can defy a 4 lb rise for his latest Kempton victory and make it 4 wins from his last 5 starts. The Tin Miner is a clear danger, while Ballintubber Boy can't be dismissed defending an unbeaten record over hurdles for all his mark doesn't look overly-generous.
