POWERFUL PRESENCE looked the winner from a long way out when scoring over a mile here last week. Today's shorter trip should not prove a problem and there looks plenty more to come at this level from the lightly-raced five-year-old. Hambleton is steadily improving and has registered a couple of placed efforts here recently. The handicapper looks to have given him a chance by dropping him 3lb, while Noble Attitude takes a drop in grade and can make the frame again after finishing third over C&D on her latest start.
