PRESENTANDCOUINTING has taken well to fences and produced his best jumping performance yet when dotting up at Perth. He has trip and conditions to suit and can give weight away all round. Getareason shaped nicely returned to fences in the spring and will find things easier back in novice company than the open handicap he contested at Market Rasen last time. No Comment is back over fences at the age of ten. He ran a strong race here the last day over hurdles and now goes chasing for the first time since December 2019. He is a big danger back to novice chasing if reacting positively to the larger obstacles second time round.
