A pretty dreadful race to wade through here with Jedd O'Keefe's Strait Talking being given the TEAMtalk nod based on his consistency of completion and ability to handle a soft surface. Others to consider include Willow Run who has won on a softish surface in the past, has shown good recent form and goes well for his current jockey. Heathyard's Guest has shown form on a faster surface so today's surface will be an unknown (did not really handle it only time he met heavy ground on the level). Butterwick Chief showed ability at Doncaster last season but has been disappointing this term. Stormy Beech has run some promising races on a soft surface this season and hails from an in-form yard. He should go well provided he handles this track.
