Talkofgold was off the mark on her rules debut in a taking manner at this track last month, and whilst she should be suited by stepping up in trip, there is the suspicion that form doesn't amount to much. However, this is a weak race, and she looks best placed to take advantage if the selection PETIVILLE is at all troubled by drying ground. He deserves to get his head in front, and went down in a slug-out at Cartmel (handicap) last month and this contest looks a far less challenging assignment.
