PRESENT YOUR CASE can score on her first outing since joining Tim Vaughan. She has a string of respectable efforts to her name in handicap hurdles, notably a good second to Little Carmela at Leicester last winter. She was far from disgraced at Southwell latest and should be too good here. Via Archimede had shown little for the Russell team since leaving Jim Bolger until plugging on for the minor placing behind Ocarito here last time. He ran in a first-time visor that day, but interestingly connections dispense with the aid here. Benluna has pulled up twice in his last four starts but has claims on his penultimate run, whilst Cool Star is an each-way shout.
