Verdict

PRESLEY shaped with plenty of promise in a couple of bumpers last season, building on his debut effort despite his exuberance when second at Warwick in March. He rates a very bright prospect now hurdling for his top stable and shades preference over Merlin Allen, who was a very good third in an Aintree Grade 2 bumper himself in the spring. Moments Away and useful Flat performer Insanity are also respected.
