Verdict
Tough Talkin Man is still chasing a first victory over fences after 17 attempts and will probably find at least one too good again. Kayalar may have stamina limitations while Santo Thomas got no further than the sixth on his chasing bow and may be in need of a confidence-booster. Roses Legend hasn't exactly pulled up any trees so far and LE PERGOLESE makes more appeal. Not for the first time, he didn't stay 3m last time but was second over this sort of trip at Towcester earlier.
