Verdict

WALKINTHEPRESENT was very well suited by the emphasis on stamina when opening his account at Taunton last month and with further progress on the cards, Neil Mulholland's 6-y-o is fancied to follow up. It's A Breeze is getting his act together having learnt to race more efficiently so he heads up the dangers ahead of Square du Roule, who should come on from his recent Exeter effort.

5	Placed in an Irish point. Tailed off in maiden/novice starts but left those efforts behind since sent handicapping, outstaying the stronger-travelling runner-up when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Taunton (3m) just over 3 weeks ago.

1	Held back by headstrong tendencies earlier in his hurdling career but has raced more efficiently the last twice, putting up his best effort in handicaps when second of 9 over C&D (good to soft) last month. Nudged back up 2 lb but is getting the hang of things now. 2nd Pick 1 It's A Breeze (Ire) Jockey: Jay Tidball Trainer: Paul Nicholls J: Jay Tidball T: Paul Nicholls	99	-	-	-	13%

6	Strong-travelling sort who has run more good races than bad ones since undergoing a breathing operation early last year, most notably scoring at Exeter in November. Shaped as if better for the run after 9 weeks off recently and he's an each-way candidate reunited with Harry Cobden. 3rd Pick 6 Square Du Roule (Fr) Jockey: Harry Cobden Trainer: Nigel Hawke J: Harry Cobden T: Nigel Hawke	98	-	-	-	29%
