Talkonthestreet was only headed at the last here three weeks ago on his first start for Richard Fahey. Billy Garritty again takes off 7lb and he should make a bold bid to go one better if that hasn’t take too much out of him. Kelso second Classical Milano looks to be improving and should confirm running with Chu Chu Percy but veteran Al Co has been getting beat in hunter chases and Amilliontimes ran poorly last time. RED GIANT didn’t get far when favourite at Uttoxeter but we’ll view that as a blip. He should reverse earlier Sedgefield running with Quick Brew over a longer trip and on 6lb better terms and still has time on his side.
