Verdict
Richard Hannon's juveniles have been mopping up all season and the pacey Presto Vento is the TEAMtalk selection to add to the tally. The filly showed her class when adding to previous gains, including in Listed company, by making virtually all in a valuable Newbury sales contest earlier in the month. The daughter of Air Express has nothing to fear from the runner-up, Wunder's Dream, who re-opposes on 6lb worse terms and should confirm placings with both Sir Edwin Landseer (third) and Polar Force (fifth). Inter Vision is clearly a most progressive type and rates a danger while Royal Beacon is better at this trip than further and has place claims.
