Presidential finally opened his account when scoring at Doncaster last month but is 6lb higher today. The less-exposed SUREYOUTOLDME (NAP) is preferred as he was having only his second start for Ruth Carr and making his handicap debut when winning at Musselburgh recently. There looks more to come from him and he should have no trouble confirming latest running with Zoravan. Relight My Fire and Mywayistheonlyway were both placed on their latest starts and could go well again.
