Top Of The Town and Presenting Julio represent Gordon Elliott but though Jack Kennedy is booked for the former, he is having his first run for the yard and looks a few pounds high so it's the latter who looks the more likely winner of the pair. Five times a winner over hurdles and fences last year, he hasn't run since Cheltenham in October but is still looking on a fair mark and can return to action with another big run. POLAR PRESENT (NAP) was in cracking form on quick ground around this time a year ago, scoring over this trip at Gowran. She ran an excellent race in a much better handicap than this at Punchestown last month and looks ready to regain the winning thread. The veteran Lasoscar had been racing over fences before a good run at Killarney and can get into the action.
