Verdict

Preference is for TALK TO THE MAN, who bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt sent chasing when winning a Worcester maiden in good style last month. He looks set to go on to better things over fences and can see off the challenge of No Drama This End, whose yard has a fine record in this race. Taurus Bay also appeals as the type to make a chaser and could be in the mix.

  1. TALK TO THE MAN (IRE)
  2. NO DRAMA THIS END (IRE)
  3. TAURUS BAY (IRE)
