      In depth

      Verdict

      Ueueteotl has run poorly on his last two starts but he's much better on good going so if the ground dries out he should finish closer. Tikkandemickey has also been well beaten lately and his last victory came on very testing ground at Hexham but Present Flight will appreciate the going and his latest defeat came when stepped up in class. OSCAR O'SCAR was having only his second start over fences when slamming his rivals at Sedgefield last month, when Halcyon Days was a long way behind, and though slightly disappointing when runner-up at Doncaster a couple of bad mistakes in the closing stages didn't help and he can get back to winning ways.
