Course specialist usually land this type of contests at this track and HANDYTALK is the preference to land the spoils. The six-year-old was unlucky to lose in this race last season and courtesy of his creditable form in lesser contests so far this season, just sneaks in at the bottom of the weights. Little Boy Blue can be forgiven for his run last time out and despite the rise in the handicap, his impressive Brighton victory cannot be ignored, while this race may help course specialist Highland Acclaim revive some of his old form.
