A couple of these runners have the potential to improve once sent handicapping, but it's all about the now as far as finding the winner is concerned, and for that you should look no further than the penalised Warwick scorer LOUSE TALK. His odds will almost certainly be cramped, but he stays, handles the ground and appears to jump well as demonstrated when comfortably accounting for a reasonably useful rival in the shape of the Olly Murphy trained Rio Quinto.
