Talkofgold has her first run under Rules away from Hexham but she gave supporters of the odds-on Gettysburg Address a fright at that course earlier this month and will again be helped by Ross Chapman’s claim. PAT’S OSCAR only went down by a neck over course and distance last time. That was easily her best run to date over timber and she wouldn’t need much more to go one better today. Lucinda Russell has inherited Punchestown bumper winner Simone and Rose Tree has also shown promise in that sphere so looks best of the rest.
