Thats Mypresenting hasn't had much racing for his age and made a successful reappearance here last season so the lack of a recent run won't be a problem. Dark Outsider has also won around here, one of six victories over fences, and his second place at Leopardstown last month puts him in the picture for this. Oscar Lantern ran well enough at Punchestown in January to be given a chance though he doesn't win often so LACKEN BRIDGE (NAP), who won on his only start on the track a year ago and also won at Gowran in November, is handed the vote. King's Song is on a long losing run and only slowly coming down the weights.
