Allow Me has been in better form over timber of late with a couple of placed efforts at Kelso. He should figure on only his fourth start over fences but TALKIN THOMAS is preferred. The latter has been threatening to get his head back in front off similar marks and a repeat of his earlier third to Tiny Dancer should be good enough today. Purcell's Bridge has been given a chance by the handicapper and a better effort is expected from him while Blue Kascade won over hurdles at Musselburgh earlier in the year and could get involved if taking to fences.
