PRESENT TO YOU was third to The Magic Bishop at Hexham but led going to the last and this drop in trip looks ideal. He's generally solid and reliable and can improve further with just four chase efforts under his belt to date. Forty Five has had training troubles but returned from his latest absence with a pleasing effort at Carlisle and should get involved if not subject to the bounce factor. Bishophill Jack is interesting for Kim Bailey on his chasing debut, having shown plenty of promise in five hurdling outings and scoring on his sole point-to-point run. Wester Ross has claims off topweight, That'lldoboy is on a fair mark for his chasing debut and Douryna was far from disgraced in a better race at Wetherby last time and has fitness on her side.
