Verdict
Given his stout Flat pedigree, it's a surprise that Mortlach was able to win over 2m but he did so at Huntingdon and has proved progressive since switching to fences. Things haven’t quite gone to plan for GEROMINO since winning at Carlisle in March but he’s been ridden conservatively in the past and Brian Hughes should know his foibles by now. Not At Present makes his first public outing over fences having won over staying trips over hurdles while Time Flies By has a first run for 541 days and is sure to improve for the outing.
