Verdict

HIDDEN PRESENT arrives in good form having scored over the C&D last month and though he's now 7lb higher this isn't the toughest of races and a third success from four starts looks on the cards. Lusiad is still a maiden after 13 starts over fences and is another with a weight rise to overcome after finishing runner-up to Profit Margin at Fairyhouse where Doctor Woodfield was behind. Sea Master is making his handicap debut over fences while Code Of The West looks high enough in the weights for a maiden.
