I C Gold is versatile as regards to distance and Luke Dempsey takes 7lb off Wednesday's Towcester winner but she is still giving 14lb and upwards to her rivals. Be My Present won a conditionals' handicap here in March, when Bobs Lady Temure was third, and has to go on the short-list while Jennys Melody won and was placed in bumpers in the spring. PETRE' ISLAND also makes her hurdling debut and may be a bit of value today. She looks like a jumper and her lack of pace could be offset by the testing nature of this course when the ground is riding soft.
