Verdict

Presence Felt placed in soft going at Carlisle at the end of last year while Townshend arrived at Cheltenham in good form back in March but struggled in a Grade 3 contest. Mighty Thunder went close at Musselburgh in February and I'd Better Go Now scored at Doncaster in March for which he’s been raised 10lb. WESTERN RULES has gone up 2lb after missing out by only a neck at Southwell last month but Nicky Richards’ charge looks capable of winning off today’s mark on that evidence and gets the vote.
