Presence Process has been in good form on the Polytrack course here but has yet to score on Turf and the latter comment also applies to Poetic Force. The former finished behind SCOONES here when the latter was third and James Fanshawe’s charge has since finished runner-up at Yarmouth so he gets the nod to go one better in this. Iballisticvin does his winning over further nowadays but Mullarkey is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best form.
