Verdict
Sonneofpresenting didn't sparkle when favourite at Perth five weeks ago and looks on a high enough mark at present. Mr Moss hasn't won since 2012 and isn't getting any younger but QUICK BREW should have some joy in the coming months - he can open his account over fences today. Larkhall won here and at Leicester off this mark last year so merits a second look but Smadynium's only recent win came in a seller over the smaller obstacles.
