In depth
Verdict
This will be a real test but HIDDEN PRESENT will relish the conditions as it was very heavy when he scored over the trip at Gowran last March. Most of the opposition looks slow in the extreme and he can gain his second victory over fences. Dual point-to-point winner Bonoman has yet to score over regulation fences but generally gets round in his own time and could snatch a place. Twice The Craic is another who should complete the course though he rarely gets involved at the business end while Some Legend has won once in 26 starts over fences and still looks a few pounds high. Lady In The Mist puts in the occasional decent effort but she's yet to win in 14 starts over the bigger obstacles.
