Verdict
Moment Present had some decent form over hurdles but became increasingly difficult to predict and his career between the flags if following a similar patter. He was particularly disappointing when only third at Easingwold last month and is worth opposing here with the ex-Irish PEAR CHARLES. Always prominent when successful at Alnwick in February, he is being given plenty of time to develop and could be a decent prospect. Dystonia's Revenge is dropped in grade but will have to jump better than he did here last time.
