Presence Felt has been awaiting better ground and is a reliable and useful sort to go to war with in the spring and summer months. A good run is anticipated but CARRIGKERRY has proved a revelation since joining Jamie Snowden, having never looked threatened in scoring all-the-way successes the last twice under the competent Paige Fuller. He's received a horrible punishment of no less than 16lb for his latest Southwell win but looks the sort to stick with until the winning run comes to a close. Hold Court is one who could make life tougher for the selection after a convincing Worcester success last month for which he's gone up 7lb. Frontier Vic has come back in good nick after an enforced absence of around 16 months and he could be a big danger to all off bottomweight after a game Perth victory on his latest start.
