In depth
Verdict
Take Heed showed the benefit of previous experience when a shock winner of a Kempton novice last week and looks well treated racing off his old mark so gets a confident TEAMtalk vote. Dunraven is a course and distance winner but looks high enough in the weights judged on his most recent effort while Scented Air ran below his best last time. Circle Of Wolves and Cool Roxy have shown enough to suggest place claims but look vulnerable to the selection on these terms.
