Sharp Talk made a winning debut over this trip at Chelmsford recently, with Dutch Story just behind in second spot. The winner has more on this plate in a stronger contest now, while the runner-up has valid claims of turning things around on the revised terms. C&D winner Sir Ox should be sharper for the run last time while Ifton and Indian Sounds are worth considering. Preference though is for STORMBOMBER, placed three times lately, including twice here. The return to a mile is a positive and Ed Walker's colt should be on the board soon.
