In depth

Verdict

Spaghetti Junction looked a bright prospect having made a highly impressive winning debut over hurdles at Haydock last month and, with ground conditions in her favour, is the TEAMtalk choice to follow up. His Nibs goes well fresh as he showed when scoring on his debut in a bumper here last season and is sure to have been well schooled so is respected. Equivocal faced a stiff task in a hot event at Newbury last week and should go close at this level so looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Be My Destiny who made little impact on his hurdling bow at Kempton last month.
