Talking Horse: Look no further than the Dandy Nicholls stable - but which horse stands out? It has to be Tayseer whose extra-shrewd owners Henry Rix and Jonathan Ramsden have targeted this race.

Nagging Doubt: Luck in running is obviously a pre-requisite here in any case but the well-fancied Deep Space has it all to do today as he's up in the handicap and turned in a poor effort here 12 months ago.

Looks Good: Further Outlook attracted the money in the morning and he made a good impression in the paddock beforehand.
