Verdict
Pressies Girl won a couple of novice events in the spring and it would be no surprise to see her complete the hat-trick. But URCALIN looks better handicapped, despite being raised 5lb since winning over course and distance in May. He's still not badly treated on his best form and Tom Cannon rides this track as well as anyone. Kilmurvy has form at a higher level but Hi Note has been out of sorts lately and Triumphant has gone up 8lb since twice failing to justify favouritism at Plumpton and Huntingdon. Themanfrom Minella, Swallowshide and Little Boy Boru might need this.
