In this Class 4 contest over 26f on good to firm, Presentandcounting stands out on our figures, rated 130 and well clear of his nearest rival among these five. Trained by Donald McCain and partnered by Theo Gillard, he heads a race where the rest of the field sits close together, between 108 and 115. Balkardy (115), for Mrs C Williams and Miss Eleanor Williams, and Belgarum (112), trained by Joe Tizzard, look the most obvious dangers, with Muskerry Rock (109), trained by Dan Skelton, also capable of running into the frame. Confidence is high that Presentandcounting, our selection, can follow through on that clear figure advantage.
SLANEY OPERA had wind surgery before the last run and sometimes you see the best of this the race after, down to a workable mark now and wouldn\'t surprise me at all to see Nick Scholfield 8 year old back in the winners circle.
