Well Smitten dispelled any stamina doubts when coming with a well-timed run to win over 3m4f at Market Rasen. Presence Of Mind, on the other hand, tries 3m for the first time but is gradually getting to grips with jumping fences. FRISCO BAY (NAP) made a couple of mistakes on his chasing bow at Worcester but stayed on well into third and he’d won around here previously over hurdles. Jonjo O’Neill’s novice should be up to landing this as Compadre is difficult to predict nowadays while Sizing Cusimano has proved hard to place.
