Verdict

PRESENT MAN was a losing favourite at Wincanton on his handicap debut but drops back down in class for this and can make amends. According To Harry looked like placing here in December before falling a couple of hurdles from home and is handicapping for the first time while Giveitachance went close at Huntingdon last month but was raised 7lb for his trouble. Leath Acra Mor was not far away when second at the latter track on Boxing Day though has not raced since.
