Verdict
Present Your Case was put up 10lb after winning a Perth seller and, though this is little better, may be vulnerable here. Coolagad Wonder is unexposed and could profit from the presence of the champion in the saddle but it may be worth giving another chance to RISK CHALLENGE, who has been taking on slightly better opposition. A useful conditional takes off 7lb and he'd be hard to beat if recapturing the form he showed in the spring. The remainder are readily opposed.
