PRESUMIDO is getting closer and was only beaten a head at Wolverhampton on his latest start. Simon Dow's charge may well be good enough back on this surface.

Tiger's Home finally got off the mark when winning over track and trip last month but Imperial Spirit was not far behind and that pair are closely matched in this.
