POWERFUL PRESENCE won the preceding race on this card last year. 7lb lower today, David O'Meara's charge is taken to add to his previous three course and distance victories by landing this. Piceno was beaten only a head by Conry, who runs in the previous race, at the track last week with Solar Spirit, Bogsnog and Snow Bay all behind. Millkwood ran well at a big price when placed at Thirsk recently and Johnny Cavagin has gone close in similar company the last twice. Khelman scored over 6f last time but this longer trip is no problem and he also looks to have decent claims off only a 2lb higher mark.
