        Verdict

        In a race where most of these look to be exposed, the tentative TEAMtalk selection is bottom weight Tianyi. Denis Caro's horses are running well at the moment, which is a definite plus for the selection, who does not look to be as exposed as his rivals. He also races in a first time visor and Tom Scudamore can make good use of the headgear to steer his mount home. Chief rival could prove to be another lightweight in Pacific Alliance. This is tougher than his win at Market Rasen last time, but that success will have given him some confidence and he does go on the ground. Of the remainder Ellamine is proving expensive to follow these days, and the Pipe yard does appear to be under a cloud at the moment compared to its usual success rate, while Ghutah is another who will go on the ground, but has been hammered for his Exeter win at the start of the month. Fashion Victim would have a chance based on his recent Hereford win, but has a disappointing run at Ludlow to put behind him first.
