The consistent Presenting Point has won over fences around here and is on an 18lb lower mark over timber. RIDEAU CANAL was having his first start for new connections when three lengths behind Maggie Walsh over 2m3f here a couple of weeks ago, staying on after hitting a flat spot. He'll be 7lb better off and the longer trip should suit so he can reverse the form and take this. Thecornerhouse had shown nothing before being heavily supported at Gowran in November and finishing a close third. She's another who looks certain to be suited by the extra. Da Big Fella has done best on good ground so wouldn't want more rain while Cast Iron has been chasing having shown potential over timber on his last start in 2021.
