Big Casino made all in a four-runner race over this trip at Warwick last month but may face competition for the lead here. Talk Of The South has claims if on a going day and Amiral Collonges was only worn down close home in the Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and is 2lb lower. Queen Spud won twice here in the autumn but will have her stamina to prove today. CARLI KING ran well for a long way at Haydock last time in a better race than this. He’s won over this trip before and looks the pick of the weights with Itoldyou best at Fontwell and Plumpton.
