Whatever race it seems to be, Gold Present just seems to go off favourite.
That being said, he did return to form with a creditable third here in the 1965 Christy Chase to Politologue, who looks to be heading for the King George on Boxing Day.
He has begun to amend his form guide, which reads more letters than numbers in recent starts, and comes here looking to defend the race that he won so well last year.
In fact, looking back on that race in the shortest way possible, the second; Frodon won last week's Caspian Caviar, the third; Walk In The Mill won the Becher a fortnight ago, the fourth: O O Seven won at Doncaster seven days ago, and the fifth; Singlefarmpayment was a head second to Cogry at Cheltenham in a Grade 3.
Stunning form.
