Verdict
This looks wide-open but Presence Felt has fallen to a decent mark judged on his latest second at Southwell, though a line through the winner probably give him a bit to find with Stratford scorer Policy Breach. Our Folly's form also ties in closely with the latter while Skylander would probably have won at Sedgefield last week had he not ballooned the last. MR MOUNTAIN narrowly failed to give the in-form Nikki Steel 4lb at Newton Abbot and is on an upward curve. He's already won twice between the flags so a step up to 3m won’t be a problem.
