In depth
Verdict
Iorana, despite having to concede a stone to the rest of the opposition, is taken as the TEAMtalk selection to land his hat-trick in the ordinary looking seller. A failed chaser he has relished the return to smaller obstacles and looks at home on firm ground. Mutabari has some of the best Flat form in the race and if translating it to the jumping game could go close. Ashman is not a consistent enough finisher to merit consideration while Dinofelis, a winner on the level this season, would prefer an easier surface.
