Verdict
Minmore Present has shown very little but finds himself at the top of the weights in this poor quality handicap. Misdflight is on a long losing run but made a promising start for new connections at Ayr where he was returning from a long break. Arthur's Reuben is a regular around here, scoring over the track and trip in January and making a bold bid to defy a 6lb rise a couple of weeks later. COOPERS SQUARE has only had three starts over fences, scoring over the course and distance last month before defying a penalty at Uttoxeter. There should be plenty more to come from Tom Weston's charge and a hat-trick beckons.
