Presentandcounting has won in small fields at Ffos Las and Perth this summer but looks too close in the weights to HANG IN THERE. Emma Lavelle’s top weight was a decent third in a Grade 3 back over fences at Market Rasen and has been dropped a pound since. Tardree and last year’s winner La Domaniale look held on the form book while Sea Prince was only fourth behind Cracking Destiny here last month. Noahthirtytwored shapes as though he’ll enjoy this step up in trip, however, and Vision Des Flos is still capable on his day.
