Proprioception, 6lb higher than when scoring at Southwell but officially a pound well in, did not really see stay this longer trip but was left in second at the final flight.
Presenter kept on to notch only his second placing in nine attempts over hurdles. The handicapper has given him a chance and this longer trip helped.
Hoh Nelson ran his best race since joining this yard from Charlie Mann but never looked like getting to the leaders.
Prestbury Knight, a winner in novicecompany in December, ran respectably but probably found this trip on the short side. He was due to race in a tongue strap, but it was removed at the start as he was resenting it, and rider said Carl Llewellyn that this adversely affected the gelding's performance.
What'sonyourmind was the subject of support in the morning but was struggling with a circuit to run and eventually pulled up.
