There appears to be little in the way of realistic opposition for SYNTHE DAVIS who may never find a better opportunity. Identity Parade and Present Your Case are two that could challenge for a share of the spoils. The selection is the clear pick of the three runners with official ratings and is hard to get away from having made the frame in all four starts over obstacles since joining this yard. She's had the misfortune to bump into some useful rivals in that time and should have little difficulty accounting for this field. Identity Parade didn't threaten the principals on debut but fared far better on her first run over obstacles when fourth at Sedgefield and she's entitled to improve from that initial experience but that still leaves her with plenty to find. Present Your Case has struggled in two starts over hurdles in the face of stiff tasks but this is easier and the quicker conditions may also help to bring about some improvement. There's little to commend the rest and Synthe Davis is hard to oppose.
