Verdict
TALKING ABOUT YOU is the class act here having won mares' Listed events at Aintree and Taunton last December to complete a hat-trick before twice running out of her class at Cheltenham. She isn't on a bad mark and can make a successful reappearance. Voice Of Calm won at Warwick and Cartmel in the spring and ran well for a long way in a tough Market Rasen handicap when last seen in July. Leicester maiden winner Megan ran very well in an Ascot Listed race last month and normal progress would see her in contention while Sorbet is back on the same mark as when completing a double at Kempton in May.
