NESTON GRACE followed up her win in a bumper with victory over track and trip on her hurdling debut. She has a penalty to carry but doesn't have much to fear from today's opposition unless Top Totti has improved since being well beaten at Aintree back in June. Presenting Me hasn't progressed as expected but the four-year-old newcomer Sea Island Pearl may be good enough to get involved on her racecourse debut.
