Verdict

TALK TO THE MAN looked a good prospect when going in at the first time of asking over hurdles at Taunton recently and is fancied to build on that here and continue Paul Nicholls' fine record in this useful novice. Irish challenger The Big Clubman has the form to play a big part though and rates a major threat, with Buddy Holly and Big Bert appealing as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.
