In depth
Verdict
Not a race to get too heavily involved in and stakes are advised to be kept to a minimum. With little worthwhile form to enthuse about, the TEAMtalk vote goes to Top Nolans who shaped with a degree of promise on his hurdling bow when third in a novice event at Uttoxeter in August. With further improvement to come, the four-year-old can take advantage of a significant drop in grade. Access Overseas has winning form at this level and has place claims after a fair effort in handicap company last time while Cruagh Express would also be another to consider to reach the frame if back to the form that saw him lift a Plumpton claimer last term.
