Verdict
Pressies Girl is now with Paul Nicholls having finished second in a Cork bumper last April on her debut under Rules. But she might find DAVY DOUBT a tough nut to crack. David Pipe's winning pointer only gave best inside the final furlong when second at Wincanton last month and will strip fitter here. Onenightinvienna can't be ignored after a third at Uttoxeter and a second at Ludlow though may just lack the scope of his likely market rivals. The others will do well to get involved.
