That's Fine has shown a consistent level of form as well as showing ability on heavy ground and with his trainer's horses in good form he is the obvious TEAMtalk selection in an interesting handicap hurdle. Joe Luke probably has the best form at the weights but his recent efforts have not been great and he is not proven on a really soft surface. True North has form on heavy ground in the book but the race he won last time out at Kelso was not the greatest and improvement is needed here. Maraud has shown a good level of consistency in his career and there will be no stamina doubts about this tough gelding. He would not have to improve too much on his last run to score here. Just Beth, though inexperienced, may be worth a look at following her good second at Uttoxeter recently on heavy ground.
