Verdict
Tales Of Bounty has had an injury interrupted career but goes well fresh (not raced since May) and is on a handy mark this season. The course, distance and going all suit and he will take all the beating as the TEAMtalk selection. Tathmin is always there or thereabouts in his races but as a consequence the handicapper looks to have his measure. Felix Randall put in a pleasing effort at Haydock on his reappearance, only just being run out of it in the closing stages. With the assistance of the 'Great One' he should have every chance of improving on that effort. The Bongo Man did enough to win last time out but the rise in the weights will have done him no favours and he is passed over here.
