        Verdict

        Areyoutalkingtome, Qadar and Maltese Falcon are the three to look at here and Areyoutalkingtome is taken to score off top weight. Qadar has won two of his last four races but has gone up the handicap as a consequence, and he was only second at Southwell on Tuesday when holding a winning chance at the weights. Twice a winner over the course and distance in december, Maltese Falcon was just touched off last time and is still well handicapped. he looks a serious danger. Areyoutalkingtome has won on his last five visits to this track, with his only defeat recently coming at Wolverhampton over three furlongs further. He has won with authority and Areyoutalkingtome can score again.
