In depth
Verdict
Another competitive contest but the TEAMtalk selection is Mr Gisby. The gelding by Chief's Crown was a good second behind Bobby Kennard last time out and a reproduction of that form would see him go close. Rebelle rates the main danger he has held his form well of late and his third behind Haafel last time out gives him every chance. Beauchamp Magic could also go well. He is a distance winner, but he was slightly disappointing last out, however he has been given a break to freshen up and he could run well off what looks a fair mark. Great As Gold is also worthy of consideration he is from a yard in good form and he was a good third last time out over a shorter trip. The step back up in distance will suit and he has definite place claims. Three Clouds is well in on his best form but he has become very disappointing of late. Alsahib loves this course and distance and he shaped as if returning to form when third behind Rebelle last time out.
