Verdict
Presence Felt walked over at Wetherby last time but was well beaten on good ground at Ffos Las before that. His best recent form has been in testing going while Addiction will handle today's surface but was pulled-up at Plumpton last month. With doubts about both of the above, it could pay to stick with I'M IN CHARGE, who scored over track and trip just ten days ago and gets the vote to go in again.
