Verdict
Lindajane unfortunately took the wrong course on her latest start and is the TEAMtalk choice to bounce back to form against some decidedly moderate rivals. The daughter of Erin's Hope had previously shown a consistent level of form having followed a Hexham handicap victory in June by finishing a creditable runner-up off an 8lb higher mark on a return visit later in the month. Still fairly treated and fully effective in the conditions, the 10-year-old should prove hard to beat. Just Tom will be fitter for a recent return but may struggle to give weight away while Jacksonville has an absence to overcome having been pulled up on his final start last term and Sir Norman is 5lb out of the handicap.
