Presence Felt is tumbling down the weights but there has been little encouragement this year. Kamool keeps knocking on the door but that first win still eludes him and Bandit Country hasn't scored over hurdles either. High Ron is also happier over fences but Sinbad The Sailor, Shaiyzar and EREYNA have all enjoyed some success recently. Stuart Edmunds' mare has been raised 7lb for her Uttoxeter victory but Ciaran Gethings will again take off 5lb and she has a very consistent record over this sort of trip.
