Talsara beat a big field in a Punchestown handicap over hurdles in May having been narrowly beaten over 2m1f on the Flat earlier. Baby Jake won at Huntingdon the last time he ran over timber and has had a couple of recent runs over fences while the lightly-raced Circling Moon found 1m2f too short at Roscommon after staying on over an extra two furlongs at Leopardstown. KING'S WHARF, six times a winner over jumps but never on the level, appeared to be given too much to do over 1m7f at Leopardstown last month but finished with a flourish and can take this moderate handicap from his very lowly mark.
