In depth
Verdict
In the finale, Presentandcorrect gets a solid shout, with Duke Of Kentford and King Cyrus possibly being the ones to fill the frame. Presentandcorrect's bumper form in two runs to date is rock solid, particularly his second to Wichita Lineman at Newbury, and he rates as a major player today. Kaddasan certainly has something to like on breeding while, being a brother to an Irish bumper winner, King Cyrus gets a good mention. Of the others, well, there are not too many that rate as obvious candidates although Paul Webber's Duke Of Kentford is worth a look in the betting, as is Henrietta Knight's Shekel. Overall, though, Presentandcorrect looks to hold a very good chance and, accordingly, is the selection.
