PRESWELL LAD has been going well in testing conditions and has a victory on good ground to his credit. He's 5lb higher than for his latest success but his rider can claim more than half back and another success beckons. High Talk ran poorly when last seen in November but will be much better suited by the quicker ground and Derek Fox' claim is a major plus. Our Ollie hasn't been seen since a fine run at Sligo in May and will probably need this but Scouting Party is on a very fair mark over timber as he showed with a good effort at Limerick last month. Baby's Hot could prove a threat if fit enough after her break though she's better treated over fences.
