In depth

Verdict

Present To You was soon on the retreat on his comeback run at Ayr and may need another outing to put him straight. There is also a question mark hanging over course winner Kilkenny All Star at the moment while Tight Caster is having his first start since finishing fourth over hurdles at Huntingdon in November. PERSIAN GATES is on a career-high mark after last month's C&D win but still gets 4lb from Hereford runner-up Gentleman Anshan and is fancied to go in again.
