In depth
Verdict
Bay Island won well last time out at Bangor and looks sure to go well but the suspicion is that the hike in the weights will be against him over this longer distance. Haste Ye Back is an out and out stayer who has proved in the past he capable over the larger obstacles (though seems better over hurdles). He made a pleasing reappearance after a long absence recently and should go well for his improving jockey and is therefore the TEAMtalk selection. Robbies Adventure also has a useful jockey on board and the horse itself has shown bits and pieces of form in the past. The ground may be a little too lively for him here but should still put up a good account of himself. If completing, Time To Parlez usually runs a solid enough race but his completion rate is poor and cannot be relied on totally.
