Draycott Place hasn't won for over a year but has been very busy and looked to have had enough for now when well beaten over fences at Cork last month. PRESENTING MAHLER is 1-28 over hurdles and 16lb lower than over fences. He hasn't been in the best of form but is well enough treated so gets the vote to return to winning ways. Getoutwhenyoucan is just 3lb higher than his victory at Ballinrobe in August while Fairymount Boy appears to have gone up too much in the ratings after completing a double. All Souls was having his first start for a year when beaten a long way at Navan last month though should have some improvement in him but The Mulcare Rover was well beaten in his two starts last winter.
