Verdict
Broad Walk was a fair third over this course and distance last time out behind Arlequin De Sou. The gelding from the Mary Reveley yard will have come on for the run and will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour he is the TEAMtalk selection. Free To Run has been in good form of late but ran as if in the grip of the handicapper last time when fourth behind Pessimistic Dick however he is a bold jumper and is sure to run his honest race again. Ice Cool Lad is also worthy of consideration he goes on the ground and ran as if coming to hand when third behind Tino at Folkestone last time and this extra distance should suit. Reflex Courier won this race off a lower mark last year but his stable have been woefully out of form of late. Mademist Sam could go well at a big price if he looks fit enough after a long absence while Star Councel runs off a fair mark but needs to improve on his latest form to score.
