Verdict
PRESIDENTIAL put a couple of below par efforts behind him when runner-up at Leicester last time. He’s taken to go one better racing off the same mark and confirm running with third-placed The Great Heir. The latter wasn’t beaten far and should go well again while Hajjam won over a mile here before struggling in soft going at Haydock when Danielsflyer finished third. The latter hasn’t won since 2017 but Mischief Star scored over track and trip in June and is fitted with headgear today. Right Action may do better on his second start after wind surgery and Alix James could go well.
