Old Marsh finds himself heading the weights but meets Persian King on the same terms as when beaten half-a-length by that gelding at Chepstow on his last run. He could reverse those placings with a tongue strap fitted but it should again be close between them. However, both could be vulnerable at the top of the weights. Wait For The Will has done well this summer on the Flat but is lightly-raced over hurdles. Grave Doubts has been raised a further six pounds for his latest win, his third in a row and comes here at the top of his game. He'll love the fast going and the tongue strap has certainly worked wonders for him. Scarletti is hardly a leading light from his stable and is now nine-pounds higher than for his last win. Sunday Rain has risen in the weights for some consistent efforts and may find one or two too good again. All things considered, Grave Doubts could well land the four-timer and is the TEAMtalk selection. The top two in the weights could well give him most to do.
