HIGH TALK rarely runs anywhere else these days and all three of his career victories have been on the track. He's returned from a long absence in good form over hurdles and fences and looks well enough treated despite a big weight. This could be his fourth victory on the course though Kinneagh Cross must be a real threat as he was having just his sixth start over hurdles when beaten a short-head by Rising Altitude at Killarney. Pocketfullapennies has been running well without quite managing to get there and must be on the short-list from this mark while Lady Brown ran her best race to date behind Presenting Kate over the course and distance last month.
