Irish import Powerful Presence has won twice on the Fibresand at Southwell since arriving and is a leading contender if translating his improved form back to the turf. However, there are no doubts about LINDORO's ability on this surface as he landed a better race than this at Thirsk in April. Dropped in class after a fourth at Beverley last time, Kevin Prendergast's charge gets the vote. Silly Gilly has gone up 4lb for finishing runner-up the last twice, while Gemma's Delight is 9lb higher than August's victory at Chester despite not winning since.
