Verdict

Presenting Arms won four times over hurdles and always showed plenty of pace. This step up in trip is a worry, however, and COOLOGUE is fancied to give the weight away after two excellent runs here over 3m here. He won over 2m4f at Bangor in October and was second over this course and distance a month later – good going is very much in his favour. Kings Bandit has struggled over fences so far and Nathans Pride showed little on his only start this season back in October while it's hard to fancy Swizzler on the evidence so far.
