PRESENCE FELT has run poorly on both previous starts here and also last time at Wetherby but an earlier third at the West Yorkshire track puts him bang in the picture. Down Royal third Pegase Amour is only a pound out of the handicap and Adam Short claims 3lb. Cairnshill has only gone up 3lb for a recent course and distance second so shouldn’t be far away but Tawseef has been looking a light of former days.
